Four soups were made from broth cubes and the sensory
results showed that mushroom and pork soups were more
preferred whereas seafood soup was less preferred
(Table 7). However, the scores of chicken, mushroom
and pork soups were slightly above 5 but that of seafood
soup was less than 5. Low scores found might be due to
the fact that these were plain soup bases and contained less
amounts of taste-active components. In addition, the lowest
score of seafood soup might due to its special flavour
which might be not appeal to the test panel.
