Psychophysical Bases for the Sensory Assessment of Rations

Abstract

Development of acceptable and nutritious rations requires the judicious use of sensory evaluation techniques. An appreciation of the philosophical, historical and mathematical basis of these methods is necessary for their successful application. This report traces the origins of the methods and delineates the methods that are available for the sensory analysis of foods, rations and beverages.
