The study was approved by the Hunter College Institutional Review Board. Muffins were evaluated by 89 untrained consumers. The panelists had to be at least 18 years of age and not allergic to any food in order to participate in this study. Panelists were informed that they would be evaluating gluten free muffins, and they were presented with control muffin first (coded “000”) and then with the other four samples. The order of presentation of the teff muffins was also random. The panelists were asked to evaluate the samples in relation to the control muffin. Appearance, flavor, taste, and overall liking was evaluated using a 5-point hedonic scale, with 1 for “dislike extremely” and 5 for “like extremely”. They were also instructed to rank the products in the order in which they liked them, with 1 for “least liked” and 5 for “most liked”. They were also asked how often they ate muffins, if they had tried gluten free products before, and if anyone in their family had celiac disease. Water and unsalted crackers were provided to panelists to cleanse their palates between samples. Data acquisition was done using FIZZ software (Biosystems, France).
