The sensory profile of the samples was generated by a trained
panel of experts who, at the end of the profile development, agreed
to use 49 terms for the quantitative assessment of the samples.
Table 3 gives the mean panel scores for these attributes and signif-
icant differences for the samples, the assessors and their interac-
tions as determined by ANOVA. This table shows 30 out of 49
attributes were found to be significantly different (3 nearly signif-
icantly different) between the four samples. A highly significant
effect of assessor for all attributes was also found. This suggested
that the assessors were using the scales differently; however, only
a few attributes (mainly after-effects attributes) had a significant
assessor  sample interaction, thus indicating that the assessors
were ranking the samples in a similar way.
