We compare the sensory profiles of six dark chocolates done by two types of juries: some trained juries and an untrained jury. Six laboratories, each one made up of 10 to 15 judges, are regarded as trained juries since the assessors were well trained before the evaluation of the products. The second type of jury is composed of only one panel of 29 untrained assessors and this jury is named the untrained jury. Fourteen attributes were evaluated and analyses of variance have been carried out by attribute to compare the sensory profiles of the six chocolates done by the trained juries and by the untrained jury. These analyses of variance show that the two types of juries give similar sensory profiles and that the few differences are mainly due to different ways of using the scale.
