Descriptive sensory profiling of the ugali was performed based
on the generic descriptive method of Einstein (1991). The panellists
developed and used 17 sensory descriptors to describe the
ugali (Table 1). After 14 h of panel training, the sensory evaluation
was done in two sessions. The four types of ugali served in
transparent glass ramekins were presented using a protocol
similar to that of Kobue-Lekalake, Taylor, and De Kock (2007). The
panellists handled the ugali with their fingers, the way ugali is

system using Compusense software (Compusense Five release
