Abstract

Food safety and -waste are major social problems. Food safety risks can arise from improper storage and handling practices in households that cannot be effectively controlled by legislation. In our research, we compared two sensory methods for monitoring the refrigerated storage of ground pork ham samples. Using a category scale, the appearance of deterioration was identified very quickly. With the unstructured scale, minor differences were more likely to be de-tected later in the deterioration process. The methods were effectively complemented by the use of a list of terms from which the assessors could select those that were suitable for the sensory description of the sample.
