Identification of drivers of (dis)liking based on dynamic sensory profiles: Comparison of Temporal Dominance of Sensations and Temporal Check-All-That-Apply

Sara King/ February 1, 2017/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

Temporal Dominance of Sensations (TDS) and Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA) are two multi-attribute methods for dynamic sensory characterization. Previous research has shown that both methodologies provide complementary information. However, it remains an open question which of the two approaches better explains consumers’ hedonic perception of products. In this context, the aim of the present work was to compare TDS and TCATA

Does a familiarization step influence results from a TCATA task?

Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA) is a multi-attribute temporal approach that extends CATA questions. It is based on continuous selection of the sensory attributes that are perceived as applicable for describing a focal sample during consumption. Compared to CATA, TCATA is a relatively intense and demanding task for consumers who have to focus their attention on the evolution of the sensory characteristics
