2nd+meeting

Was held on 13th of July’ 2011 and was called by Peter Ho. ** Agenda: ** The meeting was called in order to discuss about the sensory test for the market comparison. The start time of the meeting was at 15.30pm and the end time was at 16.00pm
 * Meeting 13-7-2011**
 * Points to be discussed: **
 * The main points to be discussed in the meeting were the type of test which will be used for the sensory panel and the design of the sensory panel in general. **

So, our final product will be the frozen samosas. As we have optimized the base from Unit III and the filling has taken very good comments from the previous sensory panels, as it had been optimized from Unit II, we decided to produce the frozen samosas on Tuesday and to conduct the market comparison on Wednesday. We decided to conduct the comparison among our product and two products that already exist on the market. For that purpose, the team produced 36 half-fried, 25% whole meal flour samosas, in order to conduct a preference test, using a 9-point hedonic scale as the measurement scale. The team tried to find a soya filling samosa but the only product that we found wasn’t available on the stores and we couldn’t either order it online. For that reason we decided to have a vegetarian samosa and a chicken samosa for the market comparison.
 * After the discussion with Dr Ho, the team decided that it is better to concentrate only in one product and leave the idea of ready-to-eat samosas due to lack of time. **
