SensoryDataSets

Introduction

The SensoryDataSets package provides a curated and diverse collection of datasets focused on sensory evaluation, consumer science, food quality assessment, product characterization, and preference analysis. It includes data covering topics such as hedonic and liking scores, descriptive sensory profiles, product preferences, sensory attributes, physicochemical measurements, wine quality and bitterness assessments, consumer evaluations, and sensory panel studies.

The package contains a variety of data structures and sensory applications, including consumer acceptance and hedonic studies, descriptive sensory evaluations, product profiling, ordinal sensory responses, physicochemical and sensory measurements, panel evaluations, and multivariate sensory data. The datasets encompass evaluations of products such as brown and white bread, olive oil, orange juice, grape blends, wine, chocolate, perfume, and smoothies, providing useful examples for teaching, exploratory data analysis, statistical modeling, multivariate analysis, consumer studies, preference analysis, and methodological research in sensory and consumer science.
