 * Meeting 13-7-2011**
 * Agenda: ** The meeting was called in order to discuss about thesensory test for the market comparison.
 * Points to bediscussed: **
 * The main points to be discussedin the meeting were the type of test which will be used for the sensory paneland the design of the sensory panel in general. **

So, our final productwill be the frozen samosas. As we have optimized the base from Unit III and thefilling has taken very good comments from the previous sensory panels, as ithad been optimized from Unit II, we decided to produce the frozen samosas onTuesday and to conduct the market comparison on Wednesday. We decided toconduct the comparison among our product and two products that already exist onthe market. For that purpose, the team produced 36 half-fried, 25% whole mealflour samosas, in order to conduct a preference test, using a 9-point hedonicscale as the measurement scale. The team tried to find a soya filling samosabut the only product that we found wasn’t available on the stores and wecouldn’t either order it online. For that reason we decided to have a vegetariansamosa 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 leavethe idea of ready-to-eat samosas due to lack of time. **
