Glossary of Terms Used in Sensory Analysis
In most cases, contributors to Guidelines for Sensory Analysis in Food Product Development and Quality Control have used nomenclature as defined in the International Standard Sensory Analysis-Vocabulary (ISO 5492, 1992 (Elf».
Acceptability (noun)
Acid (taste) (adj.)
After-taste (noun)
Appearance (noun)
State of a product favourably received by a given individual or popUlation, in terms of its organoleptic attributes.
Describes the basic taste produced by dilute aqueous solutions of most acid substances (e.g., citric acid and tartaric acid).
O1factory and/or gustatory sensation which occurs after the elimination of the product and which differs from the sensations perceived whilst the product was in the mouth.
All the visible attributes of a substance or object.
