Sensorial profile and acceptability of different formulations of bread of cheese

Bread cheese is a traditional product of Minas Gerais-Brazil Its production comes growing a lot, expanding besides for the external market. Despite of this expansion, a trading quality standard was not yet developed. In this work, Quantitative Descriptive analysis was applied to select sensory attributes which best define the changes in appearance, aroma, flavour and texture when different ingredients were used. Seven formulations were evaluated by a selected panel and eighteen attributes best describing similarities and differences between then were defined. After a training period panellist evaluated the samples in an incomplete block design using a 9 cm unstructured scale. The developed formulations were also appraised in relation to acceptability through the hedonic scale of 9 points, for 70 consumers of cheese breads. ANOVA and Tukey test (p<0.05) were applied to the data. Samples showed significant differences (p<0,05) in all attributes. No significant acceptance (p>0,05) was observed between the samples.
