Triangle Test

The Triangle Test is a method used in sensory evaluation to determine if a noticeable difference exists between two products. In this test, participants are given three samples—two are identical, and one is different. They must identify the odd sample out. This approach helps businesses understand if changes in a product (like flavor or texture) are perceptible to consumers. If most participants can correctly identify the different sample, it suggests there is a significant difference between the products being compared. This type of testing is particularly useful in food and beverage industries.
