Notes:
The purpose of this article is to discuss the issues associated with selecting assessors for sensory panels. It develops the argument that although there are many variations in the detail of how assessors are selected, all panels can be considered as either (1) selecting respondents to measure ingredient concentrations via perceptions or (2) selecting respondents to represent the response that would be obtained from a wider consumer population. The validity of the data collected, i.e., the extent to which the data collected measures what was originally intended, depends on the detail of how assessors were selected as well as a number of other factors.
