Some implications of the distinction between the consumer‐acceptance test and the analytical taste‐panel test are discussed. Examples are given of its impact upon some of the systems used by the Scientific Adviser's Division of the Ministry of Food. The direct‐difference type of test is briefly considered and mention is made of an attempt to develop a scale of intensity, of limited applicability, from such tests.
