Panelists (n=15) were randomly recruited
from the University of Ghana campus. Criteria
for recruitment were that panelists were regular
consumers of Pito and that they were very familiar
with the characteristics of Pito. Consumers were
asked to evaluate the samples based on the clarity,
color, aroma, taste, palate fullness and alcohol
strength using a line scale for attribute intensity while
a 5-point hedonic scale (1 = very good, 3 = fair, and
5 = very poor) was used to indicate the degree of
acceptability.
