Abstract
ABSTRACT: The Technological Food Unit of the Caldas University is known for producing products under quality standards. This motivated the sensory characterization of meat products, quantifying sensory attributes and determining differences with standard products. The evaluation of the sensory attributes of meat products was carried out through structured intensity scales from 0 to 10. Attributes of appearance, odor, taste and texture for six meat products (chorizo, chistorra, smoked rib, smoked loin, ham and salami) were identified. The result was sensory profiles for the meat products of the Technological Food Unit and the ones from the external commercial market. The statistical evaluation of the results indicated the absence of significant differences between products of the Technological Food Unit and the commercial market products.
