Abstract
: This paper illustrates an application of principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares regression (PLS) and generalized procrustes analysis (GPA) to evaluate the ability of a trained group of assessors to perceive rancidity in foods.PCA and regression PLS were utilized to determine to which extent sensory attributes capture the information perceived by a trained sensory panel, and if this can be developed into a predictive model for rancidity in sausages.The data were submitted to a GPA to obtain a map of the products for each subject as compared with a consensus products map. Assessors plots for the sensory attributes were also obtained to reveal the dissimilarities between panelists and to explore clustering.
