Tell us how you like Fresh-cut Apple
USDA needs a Hundred and Twenty Volunteers to taste apple
slices on Wednesday, or Thursday, or Friday of next
week (November 20, 21, or 22), at 10:30, 1:30, 2:15, or
3:15
A project in the Food Quality Lab is
aimed at developing high quality, tasty fresh-cut apples to eat at home, in
restaurants, or on the go. We need
people to taste apple slices and tell us what they like or dislike. The only requirement to participate is that
you generally enjoy eating apples.
You will taste two types of apples and
rate their taste/flavor acceptability.
All are commercial varieties, grown commercially, and freshly sliced in
our fresh-cut preparation room.
Our aim is to determine what apple flavor and
texture attributes YOU like.
Please email or call Eunhee Park to
make an appointment: eunhee.park@ ars.usda.gov or phone 504-6982. Please provide both your email address and
phone number so we can contact you to confirm your appointment (and remind
you when to come!).
Tasting is done in the Sensory
Evaluation Facility (Taste Panel) Rm.004, ground floor of Bldg. 002. We must schedule ten appointments at a time
to ensure that panels are completed efficiently. It is really important that you come on
time, so your fellow panelists don't have to wait for you.
Thanks for
your participation in this research.
