Sensory evaluation star diagram




Choose 8 attributes that describe the characteristics of the dish, e.g. smooth, salty, crunchy,
bland, chewy, golden, dry, nutty.
Taste the dish. Decide on an intensity for each attribute, using a scale from 0-10 (the higher
the number, the greater the intensity).
Use the information to draw a star chart/diagram of the product’s attributes. Use a
coloured pen and create a key at the bottom of the diagram to record which recipe you
tested.
Taste the other recipe, recording the information on the same star diagram but using
different coloured pen to differentiate them.
