2.8. Sensory analysis
Samples were evaluated for quality attributes in terms of color,
odor, taste, texture and overall acceptability. A typical taste panel
consisted of 20 panelists. A traditional 9-point hedonic scale was
used to evaluated the samples, where: 1 ¼ dislike extremely,
2 ¼ dislike very much, 3 ¼ dislike moderately, 4 ¼ dislike slightly,
5 ¼ neither like nor dislike, 6 ¼ like slightly, 7 ¼ like moderately,
8 ¼ like very much, and 9 ¼ like extremely (Russell & John, 1987).
