Sensory Analysis in Quality Control: The Gin as an Example

The quality of a food product could be defined by different ways from a widely manner to a more detailed one. One of the most usual meanings is define the quality as “in conformity with consumer’s requirements and acceptance, is determined by their sensory attributes, chemical composition, physical...

One of the most usual meanings is define the quality as “in conformity with consumer’s requirements and acceptance, is determined by their sensory attributes, chemical composition, physical properties, and level of microbiological and toxicological contaminants, shelf-life, packaging and labelling”. In order to manage the quality of a food product most industries have defined quality control and quality assurance programs. In the recent years, a lot of companies have established a quality control/sensory program especially the food industry.

It is often defined as “a discipline used to evoke, measure, analyse and interpret reactions to the characteristics of foods and similar materials as they are perceived by the sense of sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing” (Mc Ilveen & Armstrong, 1996; Piggott, et al., 1998).

The discipline of sensory analysis use scientific principles drawn back from food science, physiology, psychology and statistics (Piggott, et al., 1998).

description The quality of a food product could be defined by different ways from a widely manner to a more detailed one. One of the most usual meanings is define the quality as “in conformity with consumer’s requirements and acceptance, is determined by their sensory attributes, chemical composition, physical properties, and level of microbiological and toxicological contaminants, shelf-life, packaging and labelling”.
