STM3105 Simple Ranking Test

This document summarizes the results of a simple ranking test conducted on 6 samples of turmeric powder (Samples A through F). A panel of 7 judges ranked the samples based on their yellow color. Statistical analysis using the Friedman test and LSD post-hoc test found significant differences in yellow color intensity between the samples. Specifically, Sample F was ranked as having the strongest yellow color, followed by E, D, C, B, and A, with A having the lowest yellow color intensity based on the rank totals and LSD comparisons. Color measurements also showed Sample F to have the highest a* and b* values, indicating it had the most intense yellow color.

MASTER SHEET
Type of test: Simple Ranking Test
Product: Turmeric Powder
Group Name: K2 (B5, B6)
Date: 13/12/22
Results:

Sample
‘Rank’ total for
Panelist A B C D E F each panellist
1 1 2 3 4 5 6 21
2 1 2 3 4 5 6 21
3 1 2 3 4 5 6 21
4 1 2 3 4 5 6 21
5 1 2 3 4 6 5 21
6 1 2 3 4 5 6 21
7 1 2 3 4 5 6 21
‘Rank’ Total 7 14 21 28 36 41 147

Hypothesis:
H0: µA = µB = µC = µD = µE = µF
Ha: µA ≠ µB ≠ µC ≠ µD ≠ µE ≠ µF

(i) Quick test


No. of treatment (sample) = 6 (p)
No. of panelist = 7 (n)
Minimum ‘rank’ total = 7
Maximum ‘rank’ total = 41
Therefore, experimental range of ‘rank’ = 7-41
From Kramer (1974) - Appendix H, when number of panelists is 7 and no of sample
is 6:
α=0.05, Rank = 14 -35
Therefore, the experimental range of ‘rank’ is out of the range given by Kramer
(1974). It can be concluded that there is a significant difference (p<0.05) among
samples in terms of yellowness at α=0.05.
ii) Friedman test, calculation of Chi-square (ranking), x2r

χ2𝑟 =
12 ⎡ 𝐸12 + 𝐸22 +............ + 𝐸𝑛2 ⎤ - [ 3𝑛 (𝑝 + 1) ]
𝑛𝑝(𝑝+1) ⎢ ⎥
⎣ ⎦

=
12 ⎡ 72 + 142 + 212 + 282 + 362 + 412 ⎤ - [ 3(7) (6 + 1) ]
7(6)(6+1) ⎢ ⎥
⎣ ⎦
12
= 294
(4447) - 147

= 34.51

From Table, critical χ2𝑟 (Appendix F), df= p-1= 5, and α = 0. 05, 𝑐𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙
χ2𝑟 = 11.1
Thus, calculated χ2𝑟 > critical χ2𝑟, it can be concluded that there is a significant
difference (p < 0.05) among samples in terms of yellowish in colour of turmeric
powder at α = 0. 05.

Once the sensory specialist determines that the calculated χ2𝑟 is significant, then a
comparison of rank total separation is done to determine which sample differs from
one another by using a Least Significant Difference (LSD) post-hoc test.
iii) LSD for Friedman test (Revisited formula)
1/2
LSD = tα=0.05, dk → ∞ x (𝑛𝑝 (𝑝 + 1)/𝑑𝑓 ) where, 𝑡 α=0.05, 𝑑𝑘 →∞ = 1.96

(two-tailed)(Appendix 1)
1/2
= 1.96 (7(6) (6+1)/5)
= 15.06 → 15

Therefore, test of significant difference for all possible pairs needs to be done.
