Temporal check-all-that-apply (TCATA) is basically an extension of CATA questions and measures the dynamics of sensory perception. Despite the similarities between both methodologies, no study has yet compared static and dynamic sensory product characterizations obtained with CATA and TCATA with consumers, respectively.
This workshop explores current topics and trends in sensometrics, and includes engaging presentations, arguments, and a panel discussion. Focus is on general concepts rather than technical details, making the workshop of interest to a general audience with an introductory knowledge of statistics.
Today’s consumers have access to more food choices and nutritional information than ever before. While trying to navigate grocery stores they are making regular decisions of what foods best suit the taste, nutritional, economic and environmental needs of their lifestyle. The present study looks at the relationship between consumers’ perceived healthfulness of foods and their affective ambivalence pre and post
Equivalence testing is widely used in sensory science during all stages of product development and production. It is important to understand product differences and variations, some differences will go undetected by the consumer or will be considered “close enough” and therefore acceptable to the consumer.
Several methods exist in order to profile complex matrices that change over time. In this study, two descriptive methodologies, descriptive analysis (DA) and temporal check-all-that-apply (TCATA) were used to analyze the complex perceptions associated with carbonation and compare the profiles from each method.
The aim of the present work was to compare static and dynamic sensory product characterizations based on check-all-that-apply (CATA) questions with consumers. Three studies involving a total of 310 consumers were carried out. In each study, a between-subjects experimental design was used to compare static sensory characterizations obtained using CATA questions with dynamic characterizations over a relatively short time period
Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA) Fading is a variant of TCATA where selected terms gradually and automatically become unselected over a predefined period of time and assessors are asked to re-select the terms if they still apply. Gaps in the temporal profile for a TCATA term may arise if assessors do not immediately re-select a fully faded term, making it difficult to
Discrimination Testing in Sensory Science: A Practical Handbook is a one-stop-shop for practical advice and guidance on the performance and analysis of discrimination testing in sensory science. The book covers all aspects of difference testing: the history and origin of different methods, the practicalities of setting up a difference test, replications, the statistics behind each test, dealing with the analysis,

Sensory discrimination test methods are widely used by industry to guide decision-making. Interpretation increasingly relies on Thurstonian-derived models, which use mathematics to encode psychological decision-making rules, and map method-dependent results onto a putative method-independent discriminable distance (d′). It is also possible to estimate the response bias, or tau (τ), in some test methods, such as the same-different test method. Rousseau
