Consumers’ Study of Sensory Acceptability of Flavoured Fluoride Gel for Oral Use
Keywords:
Fuoride gel, Acceptability.Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the sensory acceptability of two formulations of the gel which differ in the flavoring used (A -original formula- and B -new flavour-). Significant differences were analyzed using a nonparametric median test with a significance level of 5%. Were no significant differences in odor, appearance and consistency, and smell-taste persistence attributes, whereas significant differences were observed in taste and color attributes, being the sample A to which was the highest rate of acceptance for all attributes. Although the pharmacotechnical process used to produce both products and the colorants used was the same, the differences found in the color attribute may be explained by a subjective association between taste and color.Downloads
