ASTM releases sensory evaluation lexicon CD

LEXICON for Sensory Evaluation: "Aroma, Flavor, Texture and Appearance", a new CD-ROM from ASTM International, updates and combines the terminology and data previously available on two separate ASTM databases on aroma and flavours (DS66), and texture and appearance (DS69).

The updated lexicon is intended to assist descriptive analysis panels and panel leaders in developing and defining terms to describe perceived tactile and visual attributes of foods, personal care products, fabrics, household cleaners, and more.

This new resource covers a large selection of finished products, ingredients, packaging and chemicals used in the development, production and storage of consumer products. It is available for $199 (ISBN: 978-0-8031-7025-4; Stock #: DS72) for one user, single PC access only on the ASTM website (www.astm.org); for multiple users, call 1-877-909-ASTM. (Photo ?
