Content: Quantitative descriptive methods are not intended to solve problems in an hour. Such problems, in all likelihood, require neither descriptive analysis nor any other sensory test. Descriptive methods were designed to analyze products with a high degree of reliability and precision. Although the opinions of experienced staff obtained in bench screening may provide clues to a particular problem and in some instances will solve a problem, this would not constitute a basis for rejecting formal and rigorous sensory analysis of a problem. Similarly, efforts to replace the trained panelist with the consumer, as suggested by Cardello et al. ( 1982), do a disservice to both sensory evaluation and consumer testing. Neither is intended as a substitute for the other, and it is quite risky to confuse their respective tasks and their skills. These latter investigators observed that there were clear differences between the two types of panels, a not unexpected finding. Similarly, and equally not unexpected, differences can be expected when different descriptive training methods are applied (Lotong et al., 2001 ).
