The Tongue
  • The tongue can taste five things

  • Ripe tomatoes, fish paste, anchovies, pepperoni,
    parmesan cheese, mushrooms, chicken soup, etc.
  • Glutamate, MSG

  • Beyond these five things all other flavors come
    from your sense of smell!

23
Tongue and Nose
  • Suggested Exercise
  • The Mint Life Saver

24
First Exercise
  • The Triangle Test (Discrimination Test)
  • We present three samples
  • Your job is to determine which is different
  • Try to preserve as much of the samples as
    possible, this is not about drinking, its about
    sensory analysis

25
First Exercise
  • The Discrimination Test
  • We present three samples
  • You job is to determine which is different
  • Sample A?
  • Sample B?
  • Sample C?

26
First Exercise
  • The Discrimination Test
  • We present three samples
  • You job is to determine which is different
  • Sample A? Coors Light
  • Sample B? Coors Light with Salt
  • Sample C? Coors Light

27
First Exercise
  • This is a great test to use for panel selection
  • We are done with sample B
  • Preserve/Combine Samples A and C
  • This is our control sample
  • Next five samples are all Coors Light PLUS?

28
Sample 1
  • Sample 1 (and all subsequent samples)
  • Swirl and sniff

    describe a aroma/flavor
