A method is described for constructing reference scales for the sensory texture profile method in countries outside the U. S., such as Argentina. A complete set of 13 reference scales were constructed for Argentine foods: hardness, adhesiveness to palate, fracturability, cohesiveness, denseness, wetness, adhesiveness to lips, roughness, selfadhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness of mass, moisture absorption and adhesiveness to teeth. Scores given by the panel trained using these scales were compared to those given by a panel trained using the US scales and found to be similar, in direction and magnitude, among the tested food samples.
