Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The triangle test is employed when the test objective is to determine whether detectable sensory differences exist between two products, and is especially useful when production changes may have produced product changes. Panelists taste the three sample and indicate which sample is different.

Detailed explanation-2: -During a triangle test, panelists are presented with three samples and asked to identify the sample they believe to be different from the other two. Data is compiled from a number of panelists and analyzed to determine whether there is a detectable difference between the products.

Detailed explanation-3: -Triangle testing is used primarily for difference testing. Participants are asked to taste three products, two of which are the same and one of which is different. After tasting all three products, they are asked which one is the odd one out.

Detailed explanation-4: -Consumer-based sensory evaluation measures liking of foods and requires large numbers of individuals. Descriptive analysis requires trained tasters to evaluate intensities of attributes found in grain-based foods.
