Popis: Twenty-nine subjects judged the aroma, flavor and texture of five pairs of foods that were normally colored and either uncolored or inappropriately colored. Subjects were tested during conditions of hunger and satiation and approximately half of the subjects were blindfolded during both test sessions. The data revealed that, in general, appropriately colored foods were perceived to have a stronger intensity and better quality aroma and flavor. The effects of color were significant only for aroma judgments although the same trend was evident for flavor judgments. The state of hunger significantly influenced flavor but not aroma judgments but the pattern of changes did not appear to be related to food color. Judgments of texture quality were not affected by the experimental manipulations.
