I, _____________________, agree to participate in the sensory evaluation of ______________,
which is being conducted by __________________ of the College of Home Economics, UP Diliman,
Quezon City.

I understand that my participation is entirely voluntary. The following points have been explained:

Sensory evaluation will be conducted on_____________. During the sensory evaluation, I will
taste the coded samples that will be presented to me and I will write my evaluation on the score
sheets provided. All procedures used in sensory evaluation are standard methods as published
by the American Society for Testing Materials (1968).
No discomforts or stresses are foreseen during sensory evaluation.
Participants entail the risks of developing an allergy to the test for sample. However, because the
test food product is known beforehand, this situation can normally be avoided. In the event of an
allergic reaction unknown to participants and their families, medical treatment is available by
going to the nearest health facility. In the event that my participation in this study results in a
medical problem, treatment will be made available. I, or my insurance company, will be billed for
the costs of any such treatment. I understand that no provision has been made for payment of
these costs to provide me with any other financial compensation.
It is my responsibility to make known to the investigators any food allergies that I may have. I
also understand that I must inform the investigators if I have any allergies towards
