In a simple descriptive sensory test, the food is checked for conformity with general consumer expectations based on appearance, smell, and taste. The test can be used alongside other studies to determine the shelf life and to detect spoilage or deterioration of food. Microbiological findings of spoilage organisms can often only be criticized in connection with sensory tests.
