40% for the product at the end of its shelf life. Most products with
dynamic changes in their sensory quality, such as yoghurt, might
require a bit lower sensory quality limit for distribution process
due to its dynamic sensory properties. For these products, the
SQI could be applied easily and the method does not require trainings of panel prior to application. The SQI can be measured with
real consumers. Since it can only be used to diagnose deterioration
levels, further analysis to locate causes of deterioration in sensory
qualities might be required if a measured SQI is lower than the
specified SQI hurdle.
