Sensory Analysis
This type of sensory test determines whether differences exist between samples.
What is a discriminative test
These are the building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
The bond that connects individual amino acids together.
What is a peptide bond?
This protein is primarily responsible for meat color
What is myoglobin?
This condition occurs when inadequate protein intake causes fluid accumulation and tissue swelling.
What is edema?
These tests measure individual preferences and feelings toward a food products
What are affective tests?
A protein containing sufficient quantities of all nine essential amino acids.
What is a complete protein?
The reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars that creates color and flavor during cooking.
What is the Maillard reaction
The purple form of myoglobin commonly found inside a steak or in vacuum packaging.
What is deoxymyoglobin?
The severe protein deficiency disorder that develops rapidly and is often associated with infection.
What is kwashiorkor?
Humans can distinguish approximately this many different smells.
What is 10,000

What are branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)?
The enzyme responsible for most enzymatic browning reactions in fruits and vegetables.
What is polyphenol oxidase (PPO)?
The bright cherry-red form of myoglobin that develops when meat is exposed to oxygen.
What is oxymyoglobin?
The protein-energy malnutrition disorder caused by severe deficiencies of energy, protein, and micronutrients.
What is marasmus?
This phenomenon occurs when your response decreases despite continuous exposure to an odor.

This amino acid helps support immune function, tissue repair, and ammonia detoxification
What is arginine?
A stable mixture of oil and water
What is an emulsion?
This term describes the bright red color formation that occurs after steak is exposed to air.

This life-threatening allergic reaction can cause respiratory distress and dangerously low blood pressure.
What is anaphylaxis?
Sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami are examples of these.
What are the five basic tastes?
This amino acid participates in protein synthesis and is involved in the Maillard reaction.
What is lysine?
Temperature, pH changes, and alcohol can cause this protein structural change
What is denaturation?
This packaging system uses carbon monoxide to create a stable red meat color?
