Sensory Analysis<br />

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION<br />

<strong>Microwave</strong> exposure time and use <strong>of</strong> air circulation had a significant effect<br />

on peanut flavor attributes (Table 3) such as roasted peanutty, sweet aromatic, dark<br />

roast, raw beany, woody, bitter, ashy, and sweet (p < 0.0001), as well as on<br />

cardboardy/stale (p < 0.001). Although these attributes were statistically significant,<br />

some <strong>of</strong> the differences between treatments for attributes such as roast peanutty or<br />

sweet aromatic were not likely to be meaningful in practical terms due to the small<br />

range in average score. In the range <strong>of</strong> processing parameters examined, treatment<br />

11NF was the most different, because it was significantly higher in total <strong>of</strong>fnote<br />

(Table 3). <strong>The</strong> 11NF treatment was characterized by higher cardboardy/stale, bitter,<br />

dark roast and ashy attribute intensities, while being characterized less by the raw<br />

beany attribute.<br />

<strong>The</strong> attribute, total <strong>of</strong>fnote, was incorporated into the lexicon as an additional<br />

tool to differentiate the processing treatments. <strong>The</strong> total <strong>of</strong>fnote term does not<br />

describe the specific attributes <strong>of</strong> the sample, so future work should characterize this<br />

<strong>of</strong>fnote using a descriptive panel. However, treatments were differentiated based on<br />

total <strong>of</strong>fnote (p < 0.0001), indicating that this term was effective in a basic<br />

categorization <strong>of</strong> processing effects.<br />

Several <strong>of</strong> the sample attributes were correlated to each other (Table 4).<br />

Desirable attributes such as roast peanutty, sweet aromatic, and sweet taste<br />

positively correlated with each other, and negatively correlated with bitter, ashy, and<br />
