FD SC 411 Final Flashcards
Pros: Very knowledgeable about product and consumer and may have specialized sensory training Cons: Limited availability, corrective action may be too slow/late, and they may be less inclined to downgrade the product
R&D/Corporate HQ
Pros: Highly sensitive/accurate and less likely to be biased Cons: Corrective action could be too slow/late and hiring/training is expensive
Trained Panel/Employee Panel
Critical Limit
A maximum/minimum value to which biological, chemical, or physical parameters must be controlled at a CCP to prevent, eliminate, or reduce a food safety hazard

Descriptive Analysis Tests
Answers the question: How do they differ? Quantitative Descriptive Analysis, Spectrum Uses trained panelists
A defect that reduces the product’s fitness for its intended use
Major Defect
Disposition Options of a Noncompliant Product
Discard it Hold it Rework it Sell to employees/donate to charity
Attributes Data
Data that is measured on a discrete scale (integers)
Answers the questions: What is the acceptability of a product?, Is one product preferred over another?, and Which aspect of the product is most important to the consumers? Central Location Test and Home Use Test
Affective/Hedonic Tests
Control Limits
The voice of the process
Rational Subgroup
A sample chosen for technical reasons within which variations may be considered to be due to common (chance) causes only; between which there may be variations due to special (assignable) causes whose presence it is possible and important to detect

Pros and Cons of Different Sensory Quality Programs
In/Out Pros: Easy to conduct, quick testing, cheap Cons: Doesn’t give any information Difference from Control Provides information while being easy to conduct, quick, and cost efficient Quality Rating Pros: Quick to conduct and provides information Cons: Not simple to conduct and is expensive Trained Panel Pros: Provides the most detailed/in-depth information Cons: Not simple to conduct, takes a long time to conduct/gather information, and is expensive
Monitoring
To conduct a planned sequence of observations or measurements to assess whether a CCP is under control
An Ideal Environment for Sensory Testing
Well lit Free from odors, noise, and other distractions Individual evaluation in private
Special Cause Variation
Variability between samples
Reversed
Answers the question: Are the products perceptively different? Degree of Difference (DoD), Triangle, Tetrad, and Paired Comparison
Simple Discrimination/Difference Tests

Disposition Options of a Noncompliant Product
To conduct a planned sequence of observations or measurements to assess whether a CCP is under control
Monitoring
The element of verification focused on the collection/evaluation of scientific and technical information to determine whether the HACCP plan, when properly implemented, will effectively control the hazard

Pros and Cons of Different Sensory Quality Programs
Factors Affecting the Likelihood of Occurrence of a Hazard
Effectiveness of prerequisite programs Frequency of association of the potential hazard with the food/ingredient Method of preparation Conditions during transportation Expected storage conditions Likely preparation steps before consumption Plant history
