Grilled Cheese Sense Test
Sample 201 | Sample 305 | |
Comments |
Please rate each sample 1-5 in each category
1= dislike 2= mildly dislike 3= OK 4= mildly like 5= like
Why did we use the numbers 201 and 305 to code the two sandwiches? It's because we didn't want the taste testers to see which sandwich they were having. What we learned in food science is that if you use the numbers 1 or 2 they'll chose the number 1 sample than the 2 sample based on the number not the taste. We were looking for which grilled cheese they liked better.
Why did we use a 5 point rater scale? (1-5) It's to see if they disliked the sandwich or to also see if they really liked the sandwich. If we go above 5 than it gives the people to many choices. If we go lower than 5 it'll give less choices.
Why did we choose to categorize each sense separately? (taste, smell, etc.) Because it's easier to look at the results separately than all together. If they liked the aroma of the Kraft cheese but all of the other category's for the Tillamook cheese came back better than we would have to make the Tillamook cheese aroma more better smelling.
