Perception of sparkling wines of varying carbonation levels using quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) and temporal check-all-that-apply (TCATA)

Sara King/ October 26, 2016/ Poster/ 0 comments

Carbonation is an important temporal sensory property of sparkling wine. In this study, sparkling wines of different carbonation (CO2) levels (n = 11) were prepared through the addition of varying concentrations of dextrose during the winemaking process. Sparkling wines, ranging in CO2 concentration from 0.0 to 7.5 g of CO2/L (P≤ 0.05), were evaluated by a trained panel (n =

Does data capture device affect sensory descriptive analysis results?

Sara King/ October 1, 2016/ Poster/ 0 comments

Research facilities often compare historical to newly obtained data sets. The question arises: can data from recent studies be compared to older studies in which different data collection devices were used? The objective of this study was to determine if data capture device type had a significant influence on sensory descriptive analysis results.

Evaluation of consumer perception dynamics

Sara King/ September 11, 2016/ Workshop/ 0 comments

Over the last decade, so-called rapid methods for sensory evaluation have been developed to permit consumers to characterize products. The possibility to analyze both sensory perception data and hedonic and other data arising from the same consumers presents new opportunities, but also new challenges to investigate hedonic drivers and other interesting aspects.

Advances in Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA) Methodology and Analysis

Sara King/ July 16, 2016/ Workshop/ 0 comments

This session is designed to explore topical priorities in sensory science. Every year there are breakthroughs in subject areas in the field that have the potential to be game-changing. The three presentations are united in their novelty and their potential impact upon the way researchers and practitioners think about the interpretation of studies they may conduct.

Sensory booths and colored lights… fact or fiction?

Sara King/ July 16, 2016/ Oral Presentation/ 0 comments

The world of consumer and sensory research and evaluation is full of a lot of significant academic and business centric research.  The goal of this curated symposium is to present IFT members with a dialog between experts on the real truths behind practices that both practitioners and recipients of results might feel are commonly agreed upon approaches.  Sensory booths and
