Fuzzy logic application in sensory analysis of enriched loaf

Fuzzy logic is applied in many areas of knowledge. In this logic every variable has a set of functions, represented in an X universe, which generally expresses a linguistic variables group of the system. This paper proposes a discussion on the use of fuzzy logic in sensory acceptance, from the taster's views of 'faveleira' (Cnidosculus phyllacanthus (Mart.)Pax. et K. Hoffm.) almonds and protein bread. It was observed that the developed controller method is easy to use and system's user only needs to find the curve of the GC with a final higher value to indicate the sample with greater acceptance. The user may use the derived CG curves aiding in the detection of the best choice in some situations, furthermore used in conjunction with other statistical method.
