Abstract

This study was carried out to examine the sensory characteristics of Demi-glace sauce prepared by fresh basil with different amount of salt added. The evaluation of the sensory quality of Demi-glace sauce prepared by fresh basil was conducted by unexperienced and trained panel with regard to color, odor, taste, appearance, texture, viscosity, and overall acceptability while varying the quantity of salt added, the time of preparation, and the conditions of sauce offered in which each panel was supposed to evaluate both sauce itself and sauce with meat. It was found that Demi-glace sauce prepared by fresh basil with 0.3% salt added was gained the highest score from both panels in most properties and the second was the one with 0.1% salt added. In the sensory properties correlation analysis according to the time of preparation and the conditions of sauce offered, there was no significant correlation in most sensory properties for the unexperienced panel, except some significantly positive correlation between taste and overall acceptability of the sauce. Whereas there was a positive correlation in the majority of sensory properties for the trained panel regardless of the time of preparation and the conditions of sauce offered. The sauce with 0.3% salt added ranked as the best recipe by both panels among four different ratios of salt adding regardless of the time of preparation and the conditions of sauce offered. Triangle test showed that the sauce B with 0.1% salt added before the preparation was more highly appreciated in terms of taste than the sauce A with 0.1% salt added in the final step of preparation. In conclusion, it could be suggested that Demi-glace sauce prepared by fresh basil with 0.3% salt added is the best recipe for commercial products. Also, there seems to be the need of further sensory evaluation studies on the Demi-glace sauce according to the time of addition during the process of preparation.
