Sensory Evaluation

of
Carbonated Orange Drink
using Hedonic Test
 Summa
ry
• The purpose of the hedonic test was to decide how much he/she likes
or dislikes the product and to mark the scales accordingly and to
determine market demand or to be used for market segmentation or
related demographic tabulations
• Hedonic test is always referred as liking, preference, enjoyment,
selection and consumption of a food or drink or food quality.
• Food acceptability always represents different forms of behaviour to
food products.
 Summa
ry
• The hedonic scale was used to determine the degree of acceptability
and preferences of panellists toward one or more products.
• For examples, the scale is a category type scale with an odd number
which is started from five to nine categories.
• It ranging from “dislike extremely” to” like extremely”. A neutral
midpoint neither like nor dislike is included which is scale 5.
• Null hypothesis : there is no significant different between the three
sample of carbonated orange drinks among the panellist.
• Alternative hypothesis : there is significant different between the
three samples of carbonated orange drinks among the panellist.
 Summa
ry
• There are three different kind of carbonated orange drinks have been
served in different coding sample which Mirinda, F&N and Fanta.
• There are 50 panellists that involved in this hedonic test. The
selection or preferences of food by the panellist are determined by
factors that can effect and contribute from both food product and the
panellists.
• The panellists also rate the product on the scale based on their
response. The result was recorded and calculated the significant
difference by using ANOVA table.
 Objecti
ve
• 1. Decide how much he/she likes or dislikes the product and to mark
the scales accordingly
• 2. Determine market demand or to be used for market segmentation
or related demographic tabulations.
 Methodology
1.Three samples of carbonated orange drinks from three different brands had be chosen which
were F & N, Mirinda and Fanta.

2.Every each of the panellist would have the three samples from the three different brands
without knowing the name of the brands of the samples.

3.About 16ml of the samples had been poured in each of the small container.

4.Then, each of the panellist had been given a form that need to be filled in.
5. By the scale from 1 to 9, each of the panellist need to score each of the samples that had
been tasted.

6. By using the anova table method, the results had been calculated as to determine the
hypothesis could be accepted or rejected.

 Discussion

Based on the result,

• The F-value was calculated to be 0.86625 while for the F-critical value,
it was 3.05636.
• The F-value was compared with the F critical value to determine the
significant difference among the three samples.
• The calculated F-value was highest than the F critical value, so it
indicates that there is a significant difference among the three
samples.
 Discussion

• Other than the F value, p-value can also determine the significant
difference among the three sample.
• If the calculated p-value is lesser than the alpha of 0.05, it means that
there is a significant difference among the three sample.
• Moreover, the p value was calculated to be 0.42261.
• Therefore, based on the p-value and the f value it can be concluded
that there is a significant difference among the three sample.
 Conclusion

In a conclusion,
• It could be concluded that Brand C which which was the Fanta brand
had the most preferable taste among the panellist as it had the
highest score among of all of the different samples.
• This could be proven as the Fanta brand had the highest score among
the other different brands which were F&N and Mirinda brand.
• Then, as the p-value is lower than the alpha 0.05 and the f-value is
higher than the F critical value, this could lead to a conclusion of that
there is a significant difference among the three samples.
