The present work shows how a sorting strategy can be a fast and reliable tool to quickly explore sensory deterioration in perishable products, using fruit smoothies under development as a case study. Smoothies (exotic and red fruit flavours) at three storage times were sorted by 30 consumers according to their global sensory similarities to check if replicates at t0 were globally perceived as similar among them, and different from samples with longer storage time. Samples were also submitted to physicochemical, nutritional and microbiological analysis. A panel of 12 trained panellists described both prototype flavours at t0, and six commercial smoothies to characterize freshly bottled products. If smoothies fulfil a quality standard when bottled NDASH susceptible of being spoiled during storage NDASH the sorting procedure can provide a fast and reliable estimation of attributes inducing a loss of sensory quality. Without any list of descriptors, the terms provided by consumers to characterize the sorted smoothies were equivalent to those mostly employed by the trained panel. This approach could be implemented in food industries in order to monitor sensory decay during storage. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/229402-1 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/LIFE/12 ENV/ES/000902-ZERO RESIDUES info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/Plant Food Research Group/Project 229402/1 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 0.184 2019 Horticulture 2019 Q4 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-4843-2561 Arias, Esther Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-6316-385X Venturini, Maria Eugenia Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-2147-9263 Remón, Sara Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-8836-1983 Oria, Rosa Universidad de Zaragoza 2008 780 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
