ORGANOLEPTIC EVALUATION - TASTE

Taste (Evaluation by taste)

• Fresh feedstuff will have a desirable taste while old feeds will have undesirable musty taste.
• Biting and tasting oilcakes will give idea about its freshness, rancidity, mould and moistures and also some adulteration.
• Licking a fish or tasting small piece of it can help in identifying the level of salt.
• Rice bran and rice polish adulterated with paddy husk will have a bland or throat burning taste with feeling to spit the fibrous portion.
