Comparison of static and dynamic sensory product characterizations based on check-all-that-apply questions with consumers

Sara King/ July 22, 2017/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

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

Analysis of TCATA Fading data: Imputation of gaps in temporal profiles

Sara King/ July 22, 2017/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

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

Characterizing dynamic sensory properties of nonnutritive sweeteners with temporal check-all-that-apply (TCATA)

Sara King/ June 20, 2017/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

Temporal check-all-that-apply (TCATA) is a rapid method where attributes are actively checked and unchecked to track sensations over time, so that the checked words fully describe the sample in any given moment. Here, we characterize the temporal profiles of sweeteners using TCATA. In two experiments, sweeteners were tested in water at concentrations known to elicit weak to moderate sweetness.

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?

Sara King/ January 23, 2017/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

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

Using contrails and animated sequences to visualize uncertainty in dynamic sensory profiles obtained from temporal check-all-that-apply (TCATA) data

John Castura/ December 23, 2016/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

Approaches for analyzing temporal check-all-that-apply (TCATA) data are further developed and illustrated using data arising from a Syrah wine finish evaluation. Raw and smoothed trajectories are obtained using principal component analysis. Virtual panels are obtained from a partial bootstrap, and the attribute citation proportions are then projected into the solution space to form contrails.

Comparison of two TCATA variants for dynamic sensory characterization of food products

Sara King/ December 23, 2016/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA) has been recently introduced as a method for temporal sensory product characterization. This method requires assessors to select all the terms they consider applicable at each moment of the evaluation, and to de-select terms when they are no longer applicable. In the present work a variant of TCATA, TCATA Fading, is presented and compared to TCATA.

Handling missing data in consumer hedonic tests arising from direct scaling

Sara King/ November 15, 2016/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

In sensory evaluation, it may be necessary to design experiments that yield incomplete data sets. As such, sensory scientists will need to utilize statistical methods capable of handling data sets with missing values. This article demonstrates the advantages of a model-based imputation procedure that simultaneously accounts for heterogeneity while imputing.

Temporal Check-All-That-Apply characterization of Syrah wine

Sara King/ June 7, 2016/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA) is a new dynamic sensory method for which analysis techniques are still being developed and optimized. In this study, TCATA methodology was applied for the evaluation of wine finish by trained panelists (n = 13) on Syrah wines with different ethanol concentrations (10.5% v/v and 15.5% v/v). Raw data were time standardized to create a percentage of

Does data collection device affect sensory descriptive analysis results?

Sara King/ May 16, 2016/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

The objective of this study was to determine if data capture device type had a significant influence on sensory descriptive analysis results. 12 trained assessors evaluated 4 snack bar products in triplicate on each of three devices (iPod, iPad, external monitor). Four-way univariate analysis of variance detected no significant product by device interaction in 19 of 20 attributes. Products were
