Dual‐attribute Time‐intensity Measurement of Sweetness and Peppermint Perception of Chewing Gum

The relationship between duration and maximum intensity of sweetness and peppermint flavor of chewing gum was explored using dual‐attribute time‐intensity sensory evaluation. Four chewing gum samples, varying in rate of release of sweetness and peppermint flavor were evaluated by 10 trained time‐intensity panelists. Chewing gum with a fast release of sweetness and peppermint flavor provided the highest maximum intensity and longest duration of sweetness and peppermint perception. The rate of release of sweetness was more important than rate of release of peppermint flavor in affecting duration of attributes.
