About this title

Synopsis

This work on the application of sensory evaluation to quality control presents step-by-step descriptions of the procedures needed to design and implement a wide variety of quality control/sensory programs. In a practical, how-to manner, the authors review previous and currently used methods of sensory evaluation, identify the most sound techniques and then present new applications for these in the measurement and control of quality. Four different alternative programs are presented in terms of applications, advantages/disadvantanges, and means of implementation. Examples are drawn from the food, beverage, fabrics/paper and personal care products industries.
