This month, we are celebrating a discreet-choice experiment involving iced coffee in Indonesia. Obviously, to make any conclusions about Indonesian iced coffee drinkers, one must have grounds. So, Andika Wicaksono Putro, Åsmund Rinnan, and Michael Bom Frøst developed beverage menus following an experimental design. Each menu showed the prices, coffee qualities, milk types, sugar options, […]
In August, senses and minds were connected in the 16th Pangborn Sensory Science Symposium in Philadelphia. That same month, the topic of preference elicitation and various ranking methods were connected in a literature review by László Sipos, Zsófia Galambosi, Péter Biró, László Csató, and Sándor Bozóki. We are now celebrating that publication, titled “Trends and […]
Each month, we celebrate the members of the Compusense Academic Consortium who published research. For the month of July, we highlight research by Joe Dare Nyefene, Felix Mills‐Robertson, Isaac Amoah, Charles Apprey, and Christopher Edeh investigating the potential use of egg powder to fortify Tom Brown, a traditional porridge made of grains and legumes that […]
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.
