Discrimination Testing in Sensory Evaluation

Provides a complete and unified approach to discrimination testing in sensory evaluation

Sensory evaluation has evolved from simple "taste testing" to a distinct scientific discipline. Today, the application of sensory evaluation has grown beyond the food industry-it is a sophisticated decision-making tool used by marketing, research and development, and assurance in industries such as personal care, household care, cosmetics, fragrances, automobile manufacturing, and many others. Sensory evaluation is now a critical component in determining and understanding consumer acceptance and behavior.

Discrimination Testing in Sensory Evaluation provides insights into the application of sensory evaluation throughout the entire product life cycle, from development to marketing. Filled with practical information and step-by-step guidance, this unique reference is designed to help users apply paired comparison tests, duo-trio tests, triangle tests, similarity tests, and various other discrimination tests in a broad range of product applications. Comprehensive chapters written by leading experts provide up-to-date coverage of traditional and cutting-edge techniques and applications in the field.

• Addresses the theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of discrimination testing
• Covers a broad range of products and all of the senses
• Describes basic and more complex discrimination techniques
• Discusses the real-world application of discrimination testing in sensory evaluation
• Explains different models in discrimination testing, such as signal detection theory and Thurstonian modelling
• Features detailed case studies for various tests such as A- not AR, 2-AFC, and Ranking among others to enable practitioners to perform each technique

Discrimination Testing in Sensory Evaluation is an indispensable reference and guide for sensory scientists, in academia and industry, as well as professionals working in R&D, quality assurance and control, and marketing. It is also an excellent textbook for university courses and industry vocational programs in Sensory Science.
