Using partial bootstrap to evaluate the uncertainty associated with TCATA product trajectories

Sara King/ March 23, 2016/ Oral Presentation/ 0 comments

Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA; Castura et al., 2016) is a temporal sensory method in which assessors track changes in the applicability of sensory attributes to describe a sample during an evaluation. Data provide information on the complex dynamic profile of products. TCATA curves can be used to show attribute citation proportions over time, or differences in citation proportions between pairs of

tempR: Temporal sensory data analysis

Sara King/ March 22, 2016/ Poster/ 0 comments

This forthcoming package includes several functions for analyzing data arising temporal sensory methods. Functions are currently provided for analyzing Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA) and Temporal Dominance of Sensations (TDS) data.

Recent advances in sensory science

Sara King/ February 23, 2016/ Oral Presentation/ 0 comments

During the last decade there have been a number of areas in Sensory Science that have benefited from research into new methods, statistics, physiology and genetics. This has resulted in significant research activities and eventual commercialization of these advances.

Number of terms to use in temporal check-all-that-apply studies (TCATA and TCATA Fading) for sensory product characterization by consumers

Sara King/ January 22, 2016/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA) is introduced as a new dynamic method for describing multidimensional sensory properties of products as they evolve over time. TCATA extends the Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) method. Selection and deselection of attributes are tracked continuously over time, permitting assessors to characterize the evolution of sensory changes in products. TCATA is presented using results from trained panel evaluations of yogurt
