and served to 15 experienced panelists who were familiar with the sensory profiles of
Chinese-style sausage. Panelists were asked to evaluate the sensory
attributes of sausage samples, including color, flavor, texture and
overall-acceptability. A 9-point hedonic scale was used to determine
these four attributes: 1, dislike extremely; 2, dislike verymuch; 3, dislike
moderately; 4, dislike slightly; 5, neither like nor dislike; 6, like slightly;
7, like moderately; 8, like very much; 9, like extremely.
