| Abstract: | One of the many characters for which new breeding products are tested at the Institute of Horticultural Plant Breeding, Wageningen, is the consumption quality. This can only be properly done if suitable methods and experienced tasters are available.Some known organoleptic methods are described, together with their objectives. As the trials at the above Institute were mainly carried out to analyse the flavour of various selections or varieties of certain crops, the method of the  analytical appraisal found the widest application. It is described in this paper.Members of staff were tested for tasting ability and selected with the aid of the four basic tastes (sweet, sour, salt, bitter) and aroma.The method of preparing and serving the samples, as well as some typical experiences gained with a number of crops are briefly summarized. |
