2.8. Sensory evaluation
Yoghurt samples were coded with three digit random numbers
and served at 10
C to 42 untrained panelists (students of Department of Food Technology). This group of panelists had acuity in four
basic tastes and had experiences in assessing food products by
different sensory tests. Three or four samples were randomly presented to the panelists in the morning or in the afternoon session.
Seven-point hedonic scale was used for appraising the sensory
traits, viz. appearance, color, odor, texture,flavor and overall preference (Larmond, 1982).
