Twelve students and department employees (9 female, 3 male, average age 28.4 years), who had experience in sensory evaluationbut were not specifically trained on bakery products, were recruited for flash profiling (Delarue & Sieffermann, 2002, 2004). Experiments were carried out in individual booths in a sensory laboratory (22 _ 1 _C) under artificial illumination (colour temperature 6500 K). All samples were served in petri dishes encoded with random 3-digit numbers.
