Correlation between Texture and Sensory Evaluation of Jelly

The correlations between texture properties and sensory evaluation of jelly were studied by the texture analyzer and sensory evaluation method.The results showed that the optimal test parameters were 1.0mm/s for testing speed and 50% for compression deformation.Springness tested by texture analyzer was correlated with taste determined by sensory evaluation method for fruit jelly with different prices for the same manufacturer.Springness tested by the texture analyzer was correlated with texture determined by sensory evaluation method for fruit jelly with same price for the different manufacturers.Springness and chewiness tested by the texture analyzer were correlated with taste determined by sensory evaluation method for lactic acid jelly with same price for the different manufacturers.Chewiness tested by the texture analyzer was correlated with texture determined by sensory evaluation method for different kinds of fruit jelly with same price for the same manufacturer.
