Creator:: McDaniel, Mina R., Young, Sheri, and Watson, Barney
Abstract:: Training descriptive analysis panels can be very costly, taking months to select and train panelists, develop descriptors and standards, and finally collect and analyze the data. Recently, the Oregon State University wine program has utilized industry winemakers to gather descriptive data on experimental wines. From 10-20 winemakers visit the university...

Abstract:: The Oregon wine industry is based on a relatively narrow genetic base of grape varieties -and clones. Diversifying varieties that are currently in commercial production by introducing and testing new clones will broaden the scope of those varieties and provide added complexity to the wines. New varieties will expand the...

Creator:: McDaniel, Mina R., Sather, Lois A., and Lindsay, R. C.
Abstract:: A threshold pattern for the even-numbered free fatty acids (FFA) in butter depended on chain-length. Butyric acid had the lowest total average flavor threshold (AFT) of the more volatile FFA, and the total AFT values increased as chain-length increased through hexanoic and octanoic acids. A soapy after-taste predominated at and...

Creator:: McDaniel, Mina R.
Abstract:: The major objective of the Sensory Science Laboratory is to support the ongoing enology and viticulture research by providing a means of evaluating juices and wines. For example, if a new viticultural practice is being tested, it is important to document how this practice changes the character of the wine....

Creator:: McDaniel, Mina R.
Abstract:: Sensory evaluation is a scientific discipline involved in evoking, measuring, analyzing, and interpreting responses to properties of foods and materials as perceived by sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing. Historically, sensory evaluation test methods have been divided into two basic types, affective and discriminative. Affective tests involve acceptance tests, usually...

Creator:: Michaels, Nancy J., McDaniel, Mina R., and Watson, Barney
Abstract:: An industry panel tasting of wine from the 1987 Pinot noir maturity trials (see previous article by Watson et al this issue) was conducted at OSU in April, 1988. Thirteen winemakers participated in the half-day tasting which involved both the description of the aroma and flavor of the wines and...
