To balance the test, the six triads of sample A: orange juice; and
sample B: orange juice with peptide fraction, were distributed
equally among the panelists as follows: AAB, ABA, BAA, BBA, BAB,
and ABB. The three samples were placed in 60 mL (2 oz.) plastic
containers with a random three digit number assigned to each
container. Each combination appeared 6 times throughout the test
where the panelists were asked to taste from right to left and to
pick the odd sample out. All 36 panelists were presented with 2
randomly numbered samples A and B and were asked to rate the
attributes: overall liking, color, flavor, and texture for both samples
on the 9 point hedonic.
