Abstract
ABSTRACTA word meaning study was conducted on 43 words and phrases that are useful in the development of an off flavor scale. The equality between category intervals of a commonly used 7‐point off flavor scale was also investigated. The result shows that the words and phrases as calibrated by 108 panelists were found to lie on a continuum. Words such as none, absent, etc., for anchoring the lower end of an off flavor scale have very low ambiguity in meaning as measured by the standard deviation, compared to words for anchoring the remaining portion of the scale. The 7‐point off flavor scale was found to have unequal interval widths with categories 4, 5, and 6 narrower than the remaining categories. A psychological scale was obtained that can be used for the transformation of sensory data whenever necessary.
