OBJECTIVES
1. To distinguish the four basic qualities of taste – saline, sweet, bitter and sour.
2. To identify whether distinctions exist between samples and standard using different sensory test approach.
3. To assess the various cake samples using hedonic and rating scale.
INTRODUCTION
Sensory evaluation is a scientific disciplines that analyses and measures human response to the composition of food and drink. The examples of sensory evaluation included appearance, touch, odour, texture, temperature and taste.
Taste is a sensation created by receptors on the tongue. There are five tastes which are sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami. Sweet is having the taste or flavour characteristics of sugar or honey while bitter is having harsh, disagreeably acrid taste like aspirin. On the other hand, salty is tasting of something that contained salt or seasoned with salt. Sour is having an acid taste, resembling that of vinegar, lemon juices and so on. Lastly, umami is a strong meaty taste imparted by glutamate and certain other amino acids which often considered being one of the basic taste sensations along with sweet, sour, bitter, and salty.
The methods used to determine whether the samples are different are Paired Comparison test, Duo-Trio test and Triangle test. Paired Comparison method is the method used to determine whether the two samples differ in a specified dimension such as sweetness or crispness. The two samples are presented to the panelist simultaneously and the panelist is asked to identify the sample that is higher in the specified sensory attribute.
Next, Duo – Trio test is a test which will determine whether or not a sensory difference exists between two samples. This method is particularly useful to determ...

Duo-trio
The assessors are presented with three products, one of which is identified as the control. Of the other two, one is identical to the control, while the other is the test product. The assessors are asked to state which product more closely resembles the control.
AXY – one known, two unknown, test is which unknown is the known (X = A or Y = A)
The probability for each assessor arriving at a correct response by guessing is ½.
Triangle
The assessors are presented with three products, two of which are identical and the other one different. The assessors are asked to state which product they believe is the odd one out.
(XXY) – three unknowns, test is which is odd one out (Y = 1, Y = 2, or Y = 3).
The probability for each assessor arriving at a correct response by guessing is 1/3.
To make this a fair test, we need to keep the same all variables that
involves all of the five senses, the way we perceive them. Perception is not restricted to
The purpose of this experiment is to compare the ability of students in tasting PTC. The hypothesis formulated for genotypes states that there is a significant difference between tasters and non- taster, with the null hypothesis stating that there is no significant difference between taster and non- taster. During the phenotypic observation two different hypothesis were formulated as well, there is significant difference between the three observed phenotype and the null hypothesis states that there is no significant difference between the three phenotype. Through observation and calculation it is concluded that there is a significant difference between the Genotypes. On the other, there is no significant difference between the phenotype.
n hypothesis of the experiment is that the group containing four members will perform better than the group containing two members. This is the foundation from which we have conducted our experiment.
Extra sensory perception(ESP) has always been a interesting topic in the field of psychology In this particular study the general interest of study is focused primarily on ESP. Variables used for this study are always invalid due to many of reasons. For example, Hansel and Gardner claimed that a couple of the early card guessing experiments inclined towards procedures that allowed for cheating in ways of waiting for a cue to perform the action. Non random populations are also assigned by automated survey experiments which makes the results insignificant. Inconsistencies overwhelm psychological studies; the way in which data have been collected and analyzed is not systematically efficient what so ever. For example, both Leuba and Greenwood brought up the potential dangers of `optional stopping', wherein researchers are able to stop an experiment when the study outcome conforms to a desired result. So experimenting until you get what you want, not worrying about other population responses. The particular study is being conducted to overcome the obstacles of prior and testing by creating a totally automated experiment and by having each participant only contribute a very small number of trials. Hypothesis of the present study are that the mean score of ESP participants would be slightly raised along with believer scores, and many more outliers in the positive spectrum will occur.
This essay discusses the validity of Oleogustus as a sixth official sense of taste, aside from the original five: salty, sweet, bitter, sour, umami. The discussion covers the definition and how it works, proving its validity as a sense of taste.

Of the five senses that humans employ in everyday life, taste and sight are two of the more interesting senses. They are continually developed throughout our entire lives and we are exposed to new sights and tastes everyday. Many people think that our senses are all unique and independent of each other, but taste and sight are surprising similar in many aspects, such as their development. Not only are taste and sight developed similarly, but they are also affected by familiarity, socialization, and memory. Although many people in the world believe that all our senses are different in function and development, taste and sight have a unique connection between the two senses that makes them very similar.
...’s olfactory senses’ ability to distinguish between artificial and natural scents. It also tested which fragrances were the easiest and most difficult to distinguish, as well as if gender played a roll in distinguishing scents. It was found that humans are indeed capable of distinguishing between artificial and natural scents. The results showed that women have a stronger ability to distinguish a difference in scents than males.
Taste and smell provide enjoyment, not only just a simple taste but in fact a social activity, a form of communication whilst encouraging a desire to eat which nourishes your body. A loss of this could result in an unhealthy diet, discontentment and the reluctance to socialize, which is devastating to humans. Over 250,000 years ago , Homo Sapiens relied on their sense of smell and taste to indicate danger through taste of sourness and bitterness (warning potential poison), and sweetness (suggesting calories and energy). This fundamental use of smell and taste proves its importance, and although we no longer use it as a source of survival, it is important to understand how we taste, and our perception of taste in modern day

Sensation refers to the process of sensing what is around us in our environment by using our five senses, which are touching, smell, taste, sound and sight. Sensation occurs when one or more of the various sense organs received a stimulus. By receiving the stimulus, it will cause a mental or physical response. It starts in the sensory receptor, which are specialized cells that convert the stimulus to an electric impulse which makes it ready for the brain to use this information and this is the passive process. After this process, the perception comes into play of the active process. Perception is the process that selects the information, organize it and interpret that information.
Our ability to taste begins at the taste receptors on the tongue. The tongue detects six different taste sensations, known respectively as sweet, salty, sour, bitter, piquancy (spicy), and umami (savory).
A. Sensory characteristics of novel biscuits: Sensory characteristics are the most important attributes of a food product. Sensory evaluation can be defined as a scientific method used to analyze and interpret the responses recorded by seeing, smelling, touching, tasting and hearing. In contemporary world, sensory evaluation is considered as essential tool for judging the quality of food products and consumer's preferences in terms of its level of acceptability. The descriptive scores for sensory attributes of biscuit samples are presented in Table 3. Results have shown that there is a significant difference (p (-- removed HTML --) 0.05) was found between T3 and T4 except flavor. Aleem Zaker et al., 2012) reported that drastic reduction was found in appearance, color, texture and flavor with every 10 per cent increase of soy flour in the basic ratio of flour mix which could be due to heat liable browning and beany flavour of baked products containing higher protein. Similar findings were observed in the present study.
