Rank order scaling in taste evaluation.

M G Peterson, M A Testa

    Computers and Biomedical Research, an International Journal
    |February 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new scoring system effectively compares taste perception in patients with multiple sclerosis and renal disease against healthy controls. This flexible system, generated by a FORTRAN program, aids in statistical taste analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Sensory science
    • Clinical research
    • Biostatistics

    Background:

    • Taste perception can be altered in various patient populations.
    • Objective and flexible methods are needed for taste assessment.
    • Previous methods may lack versatility in group comparisons.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate a novel scoring system for taste comparison.
    • To evaluate taste differences between patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and controls.
    • To assess taste alterations in renal patients compared to age- and sex-matched controls.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a flexible scoring system for taste evaluation.
    • Application of the system to compare taste in MS patients versus controls.
    • Extension of the system to compare taste in renal patients versus controls.
    • Utilizing a FORTRAN computer program for system generation.
    • Comparison with an alternative psychophysical function method.

    Main Results:

    • The scoring system facilitated statistical comparisons of taste perception.
    • Results from comparisons involving MS and renal patients are presented.
    • The system demonstrated flexibility in analyzing taste data across different groups.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed scoring system offers a flexible and easily generated tool for taste comparison.
    • It is suitable for statistical analysis among diverse patient groups.
    • The system provides a viable alternative to traditional psychophysical methods for taste assessment.
