Standard Tests
Standard Test: TOS
Overview In Temporal Order of Sensations (TOS) questions, panelists start an on-screen timer and then select the sensations perceived first, second, and third during the sampling time. The default for the maximum number of choices allowed is 3, but ...
Standard Test: Accelerated Shelf-life Testing
Overview The focus of this workflow is accelerated shelf-life testing using the difference style (Difference From Control) with Category intensity scale. The objective is to see whether the panel can identify a difference in a test sample from a ...
Standard Test: Real-time Shelf-life Time Point Testing
Overview The focus of this workflow is real-time shelf-life time point testing using the difference style (Difference From Control) with Category intensity scale. The objective is to see whether the panel can identify a difference in a test sample ...
Standard Test: Shelf-life
Overview Sensory shelf-life testing can be performed to determine the length of time that a product’s sensory characteristics stay within your organization's acceptable range. Typical examples of shelf-life testing uses: To determine the ideal ...
Standard Test: Time Intensity
Overview The Time Intensity (TI) test is a technique that measures the rate, duration, and intensity of sensory attributes as a function of time. This technique is especially useful for measuring sensory qualities that display dynamic changes in ...
Standard Test: R-Index
Overview The R-index test, an approach to difference testing, provides a measure of discrimination with relatively few trials. Panelists test several coded samples (including a blind reference) one by one against a reference sample (the signal) and ...
Standard Test: TCATA
Overview In Temporal Check All That Apply (TCATA) questions, panelists start an on-screen timer and then select all of the perceived attributes or sensations during the sampling time. They may check as many of the perceived attributes simultaneously, ...
Standard Test: TDS
Overview In Temporal Dominance of Sensations (TDS) questions, panelists start an on-screen timer and then select the sensation that they perceive as the most dominant during the sampling time. They can click as many choices as they perceive. The ...
Standard Test: Projective Mapping
Overview For Projective Mapping, panelists are asked to organize multiple samples in a two-dimensional space according to perceived similarities and differences. Panelists may be asked to tag the samples, for example, to associate a series of samples ...
