Summary

SIGNIFICANT CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE TIME-TEMPERATURE INDICATOR RESPONSE AND THE SENSORY AND OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF RANCIDITY FOR HAMBURGER SAMPLES STORED AT 261 K (-12 DEG C) PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT INDICATORS OF THIS TYPE CAN BE USED TO MONITOR RANCIDITY IN HAMBURGERS. ANALYSIS OF SENSORY RANCIDITY DATA DISTINGUISHED THE 261 K SAMPLES FROM THE REFERENCE SAMPLES STORED AT 238 K (-35 DEG C) AT STORAGE TIMES WHICH COINCIDED WITH FULL SCALE AND NEAR FULL SCALE INDICATOR RESPONSES. THE RESULTS WERE LESS PREDICTABLE AT 255 K (-18 DEG C) AND FURTHER RESEARCH IS NEEDED BEFORE WIDESPREAD APPLICATION OF TIME TEMPERATURE INDICATORS IS REALISED IN RETAIL DISTRIBUTION. G.R.S.
