Picture
One-stop-shop for practical advice and guidance on performing and analysing discrimination tests in sensory science
 
Discrimination Testing in Sensory Science: A Practical Handbook is a one-stop-shop for practical advice and guidance on performing and analysing discrimination tests in sensory science.
 
This book covers all aspects of discrimination testing: the history and origin of the methods; the practicalities of setting up discrimination tests; dealing with replications; the statistics behind each test; action standards, analysis and decision making; as well as a look into the future of sensory discrimination testing. There is a special chapter on the statistical analysis of results making it easy to use the open-source programming language R.

Written by sensory science experts from both academia and industry and edited by an independent sensory scientist with more than twenty years of experience in the planning, running and analysing of discrimination tests, Discrimination Testing in Sensory Science is an essential text for academics in sensory and consumer science, as well as panel leaders and sensory scientists working in research, new product development or quality control, in both food and home and personal care products.
