| Abstract: | Several simple techniques of sensory assessment are described and the conditions for their satisfactory performance stated. The manner in which these experiments can be used to provide open-ended practical exercises for classes is discussed and its advantages as a relatively cheap and simple method of teaching experimentation is described. Experiments are described in which the diffusion of salt into potatoes after cooking them in boiling salted water is investigated using several techniques of sensory assessment, and other suitable areas ofinvestigation are suggested |
