Outline of Final Research Achievements

Vegetables flavor and texture are important to maintenance succession of Japanese washoku. The purpose of this study is to arrange sensory evaluation of vegetables to use it for food education. Experimental vegetables models were young soybean and cabbage, and sensory evaluation made universities students the subject. Moreover, the assay of sugar contents and texture measurement using creep meter were performed. It was indicated that VAS method and scoring test are suitable as a vegetable sensory evaluation from a study of young soybean. It was not possible to explain the sweetness as being dependent on the sugar content of the young soybean, because the sugar content remained by the cooking treatment. Steamed cabbage became firm by 70℃, but panels doesn't have an influence on the sense strength of the felt firmness. The sweetness of steamed cabbage by 100℃ was the tendency which can be distinguished.
