Consumers evaluation
The biscuits were analyzed by means of sensory
testing acceptance/preference in relation to the
attributes color, aroma, flavor and texture. The biscuits
were evaluated by 105 consumers randomly selected,
divided into 5 blocks of 21 consumers of different
age groups and gender, students and employees of
University. The samples were provided to consumers
in a tray of acrylic with three samples coded with
three-digit numbers in balanced complete block, a
plug with the test, and a term of informed consent
for participation in research. Mineral water was
supplied at room temperature to the palate cleansing
between samples. The plug of the test contemplated
identification data, information on frequency of
consumption of biscuits, acceptance test, preference
and purchase intent.
