Abstract
The industrial development of innovative and succesful food items
and the measuring of food quality in general is difficult without actually letting
human beings evaluate the products using their senses at some point in the
process. The use of humans as measurement instruments calls for special
attention in the modelling and data analysis phase. In this paper the focus is on
sensometrics – the „metric“ side of the sensory science field. The sensometrics
field is introduced and related to the fields of statistics, chemometrics and
psychometrics. Some of the most commonly used sensory testing methods are
introduced and some of the corresponding sensometrics methods reviewed and
discussed.
