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

Characterizing wine finish using TCATA product contrails

Sara King/ November 23, 2015/ Oral Presentation/ 0 comments

Wine quality is associated with the pleasantness of flavours, tastes, and mouthfeels that linger and evolve after swallowing. In a designed experiment, Baker et al. (submitted) started with musts with different initial sugar contents (21 and 27 °Brix) to produce two wines varying in ethanol content, Low and High, with 10 and 15.5% v/v, respectively. A third wine, Low-to-high, was

Dynamic sensory characterization of cosmetic creams during application using Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA) questions

Sara King/ October 23, 2015/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

The evolution of sensory characteristics during the application of cosmetic creams has been long recognized as important. However, standard methodologies do not evaluate how sensory characteristics of products change during application, and do not determine the onset of specific sensations. In this manuscript, a new temporal methodology, Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA), is used to enable characterization of the dynamic sensory properties

Comparison of TCATA and TDS for dynamic sensory characterization of food products

Sara King/ October 22, 2015/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA) has been recently introduced as a method for temporal sensory product characterization. Building on the standard Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) question format, assessors select all the terms they consider applicable for describing the sensations they perceive, and they do so at each moment of the evaluation process.

Temporal check-all-that-apply characterization of wine finish

Sara King/ August 25, 2015/ Poster/ 0 comments

Wine finish, a temporal wine property, is composed of the flavours, tastes, and mouthfeels that linger after swallowing wine and is used an indicator of wine quality. To investigate the impact of ethanol on wine finish evolution, wines with different matrix composition were created, then evaluated using Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA) methodology.

Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA): a novel temporal sensory method for characterizing products

Sara King/ July 29, 2014/ Oral Presentation/ 0 comments

The development of methodologies that consider the multidimensionality of sensory perception over time can contribute to the development of successful food products. The aim of the present work was to introduce a novel method for dynamic sensory characterization: Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA). TCATA is basically an extension of check-all-that-apply questions, involving continuous selection/deselection of attributes to indicate the changing sample characteristics.
