Abstract:
Sensory panels were used to evaluate five different ground meat products. The control product was ground beef and this was compared with products consisting of 70% beef and 30% pork; 50% beef, 30% pork, and 20% chevaline; 40% beef, 30% pork, and 30% chevaline; and 30% beef, 30% pork, and 40% chevaline. Analysis of sensory panel data revealed no significant difference (P < 0·05) in juiciness, flavor intensity, or flavor desirability. Raw and cooked samples of each of the five products were analyzed for proximate composition and were found to be comparable in nutritive value. There were small but non-significant differences in amino acid composition.

Multiple Comparison Tests
It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...
