[Thoughts about the qualification of assessors for sensory testing (authors transl)].
On the occasion of a storage test in order to evaluate the tightness of milk packing materials to permeating flavours by sensory analysis the statistical method for judging the concerned assessors recommended by Römer and Renner was applied. We gained the experience, that this method allows no statement about the assessor's sensory ability at all, but merely fixes his order of precedence in a panel as to his ability to realize sensory differences in the scope of one special problem. The mentioned statistical procedure cannot substitute a selection of assessors aimed at the subject of the following sensory analysis.
D000818:Animals; D005502:Food; D005513:Food Inspection; D008722:Methods; D008892:Milk; D013649:Taste; D013652:Taste Threshold
