Consumer Perception and Sensory Profiling of Cassava Mealiness Attributes Using Hedonic, JAR, and CATA Methods

Journal of Sensory Studies, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The ability of cassava root to be softened within a short period, being easy to chew, and dissolving easily upon biting, otherwise known as cassava root mealiness, is one of the major attributes of boiled cassava roots. This study aimed to identify the attributes of cassava root mealiness from consumers' end and evaluate consumer acceptability
