The human subjective training method used was based
on International Standard ISO 8586-1 (1993). Members of
the panel were recruited from M.Sc. students of Food Science
and Technology Program at PSU. Thirteen panelists were
selected, based on interest, availability, verbal expression,
and the liking for burger. The panelists were trained 20 times
for 1 hour each. A brief background to sensory evaluation
was discussed by the researchers and panelists. The discussion
included term and definition of each key sensory attribute
in battered shrimp burgers. The capability of the trainees
in recognizing and distinguishing the product texture was
assessed by conducting taste exercises providing samples
with various levels of moistness and juiciness. The trainees
were ready to evaluate the intensity of the juiciness in
formulated burgers when they could identify the intensity of
the attribute.
