The sensory analysis is often used for the formulation stage of new products or the optimization of existing products (Abdullah & Cheng, 2001; Mendes, Menezes, Aparecida, & Da Silva, 2001). The sensory preference testing is the most suitable response but physical measurements seemed necessary to complete that experimental design.
The purpose of the study was to present the methodology for optimization of the production of jelly from apple pomace and quince which increased pectins content and improved taste, based on a consumer preference test. This hedonic test was rounded by the texture analysis.
