After the training stage, which took seven sessions, the panellists
were selected according to their discriminative capacity
(Fsample 0.50), reproducibility capacity (Frepetition 0.05) and
consensus with the panel (ASTM, 1981; Damásio & Costell, 1991).
Only eight of the fourteen panellists were selected to conduct
analyses on the sensory profile of the cakes.
