Sensory Analysis

7.7. JAR (Just About Right)

The JAR method is used to test the intensity or exptression of a certain attribute of a product, e.g. saltyness, or sweetness. If several attributes are classified through the JAR method  they can be linked to the overall popularity of a product.

An attribute can thereby be either too strong, strong, just about right, weak or too weak. Rating is done accordingly on a 1 - 5 scale.
