Relationship between sensory time intensity, physiological electromyography and instrumental texture profile analysis measurements of beef tenderness

Sara King/ February 15, 1996/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

The relationship between the perception of tenderness, chewing activity and instrumental compression was explored by time-intensity, electromyography and instrumental texture profile analysis (ITPA). Bovine m. longissmus dorsi from five treatments were evaluated by seven individuals.

An objective numerical method of assessing reliability of time intensity panellists

Sara King/ October 15, 1995/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

A measure of the reliability (T-IR) of time-intensity measurements was developed based on the concept of standard deviation as a measure of panellist variability. The T-IR measure was applied to time-intensity data collected from 10 panellists evaluating the sweetness of 4 model sweetener solutions on horizontal and vertical time-intensity line orientations.

Dual vs. single attribute time-intensity: what can multitasking do for you?

Sara King/ July 30, 1995/ Poster/ 0 comments

Dual-attribute time-intensity is a new technique for evaluating the perception of two sensory attributes simultaneously. In this research, the sensitivity of dual-attribute time intensity was assessed in comparison to the single-attribute time intensity test for the evaluation for sweetness and peppermint flavor. Ten trained time-intensity panellists evaluated the peppermint flavored chewing gum samples varying in the intensity of release of

The effect of line orientation on the recording of time-intensity perception of sweetener solutions

Sara King/ February 15, 1995/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

A trained time-intensity panel was used to evaluate the effect of scale orientation on time-intensity responses. Equi-sweet samples of aspartame, acesulfame k, sucralose and 9% sucralose were presented to 10 panellists for evaluation on both horizontal and vertical scales. For the most part, horizontal and vertical scales yielded similar results. However, Maximum Intensity responses on the vertical scale were approximately

A response-surface investigation of the effects of sodium-chloride and tripolyphosphate on the thermal-properties of beef muscle

Sara King/ February 22, 1992/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

A response surface investigation, utilizing a central composite rotatable design, measured the thermal response of beef muscle samples treated with sodium chloride (NaCl, 0·5–2%) and sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP, 0·2–0·6%). Low temperature transitions were reduced in enthalpy and transition temperature by increased salt concentration. Enthalpy was raised by increased TPP levels. Total enthalpy, over the temperature range 45–90°C, demonstrated the strong
