A commercial regular fat vanilla ice cream of “economy” grade was selected as the reference sample for training tests sessions. Marshall and Arbuckle (1996), cited the composition of economy ice creams to have 10% milk fat, 10–11% nonfat milk solids, 15% sweeteners, 0.3% stabilizers and emulsifiers with the total mix solids being within the range of 35–37%. During the final meeting of the expert panel, positions for the reference sample on a 15-cm unstructured line scale were agreed upon for each of five textural attributes.
