. A study of dissimilarities in cognitive perception of 20 common flavor terms was carried out by the Sensory Group of Norway. An average cognitive pattern of the flavor terms was revealed from multidimensional scaling (MDS) and cluster analysis (CLU). In general, small but interesting deviations between different sensory laboratories working with various food products were found by a multivariate pattern recognition technique based on principal component analysis (PCA). Suggestions for finding general reference standards for flavor terms are discussed.
