What do a Russian banana, a masquerade, and a purple majesty have in common? From a recent publication by Sharma et al. (2022) we discovered that these are each cultivars of the humble potato. They ran a two-groups study comparing OEQ data with check-all-that-apply (CATA) question data to find out what type of information can be expected from open-ended questions (OEQs). The reason that their study appealed to us is that we are using a lot of OEQs in our studies lately. Each method has its strengths and weaknesses. There were several OEQs per sample, which took consumers longer to complete than the one CATA question. So which is the best method to use and when? That question is a hot potato, but the short answer is that both question types have a place. Probably I yam alone in thinking that there could have been more potato jokes in the paper.

Quality test methods are used to evaluate a product based on its sensory attributes and overall consumer perception to ensure it meets certain standards of excellence and consistency. These methods provide a consumer-centric assessment of product quality, ensure consistency and adherence to quality standards and drive continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. Examples include, but are not limited to, Shelf Life, Degree of Difference,
Difference from Control, In/Out, etc.
Quality test methods are used to evaluate a product based on its key attributes to ensure it meets specific standards of excellence for consistency. These methods provide an internal assessment of the product quality to adhere to quality standards and achieve customer satisfaction. Examples include, but are not limited to, Shelf-Life, Degree of Difference, Difference from Control, and In & Out methods.
Discrimination test methods are used to determine if there are noticeable differences or similarities between products. These methods enable effective differentiation between products, aid in quality control and assurance by identifying variations and deviations, as well as facilitate efficient decision-making based on objective data. Examples include, but are not limited to, Tetrad, Triangle, Duo-Trio, Paired Comparison, etc.
