Abstract

In the present investigation, sensory evaluation of bottle gourd juice (BGJ) samples, obtained from microwave-ultrasound based combined treatment was performed. The raw (sample-1) and conventionally treated (sample-2) alongside microwave-ultrasound treated (sample-3) were considered for the assessment of sensory evaluation. An innovative approach of hybrid fuzzy logic and proportional odd modelling (FL-POM) was implemented for the analysis of the sensory scores. The similarity values for the juice samples and their quality attributes were resolved from the results obtained by fuzzy logic. These values were considered as input for hybridization with the POM approach. The assessed coefficients obtained from the results of POM were considered for the ranking of the samples and quality traits. The ranking of the BGJ samples was observed in the order of sample-1 > sample-3 > sample-2, and their related quality attributes ranked in the order color > taste > aroma > mouth feel. The microwave-ultrasound treated BGJ evinced as the best sample in comparison to the raw one.
