What is sensory evaluation?Show answer
Sensory evaluation is judging the quality of food using the senses, to assess how good it is and whether it meets the aim. The senses used are:
What are using good descriptors?Show answer
Precise descriptive words make an evaluation useful. Instead of "nice" or "good", use words such as crisp, crunchy, smooth, creamy, tender, juicy, moist, dry, golden, fragrant, mild or spicy. A structured evaluation compares the dish against its aim (for example, "the sauce was smooth and well seasoned, but the vegetables were slightly overcooked and lost their crispness") and suggests improvements.
What are not suggesting improvements?Show answer
A good evaluation compares the dish to its aim and says how to improve it next time.
