Analysis of Sensory Characteristics of Shine Muscat Grape and Establishment of Sensory Wheel

In order to clarify the sensory characteristics of Shine Muscat grape and build its scientific and perfect sensory wheel, this study established a sensory evaluation group to systematically evaluate the sensory characteristics of Shine Muscat grape stored at different temperatures in different producing areas. The study identified 10 appearance contour descriptors that can characterize the sensory characteristics of Shine Muscat, including plump pulp, compact, uniform size, jade green, yellow-green, uniform coloring, smooth, glossy, water drop-shaped, spherical. 11 texture contour descriptors, including thin skin, thick flesh, hard, crisp, tender, compact, delicate, elastic, juicy, seedless, and moist and silky. 7 taste profile descriptors, including sweet, crispy, tasty and refreshing, tender, hydrated, and fresh, sweet aftertaste. And 4 aroma profile descriptors, including rose-scented, fruity, sweet and herbaceous aroma, and then constructed the sensory wheel of Shine Muscat grape and its sensory wheel under different storage modes. This research is the first time to analyze the sensory characteristics of Shine Muscat grape and build a sensory wheel, which provides a basis for the sensory communication between producers and consumers, and also provides guidance for the storage, quality improvement and development of Shine Muscat grape.
