CONTINUOUS TIME INTENSITY SIMS 2000 has been enhanced with continuous time-intensity following the guidelines outlined in the Summer 1997 ASTM E-18 document: Standard Guide for The Time-Intensity Evaluation of Sensory Attributes. A few key definitions include: I max Peak Intensity, maximum observed intensity during the time of measurement Area after I max Post-peak area under the curve Area before I max Pre-peak area under the curve AUC Area under the curve (total) Rate of increase Rate of intensity increase before peak intensity (slope) Rate of decrease Rate of intensity decrease after peak intensity (slope) T init Time of initial exposure, typically when clock starts T onset Time point when the sensation is first perceived after initial exposure T max Time to reach maximum intensity of the sensation after exposure T plateau Duration of peak intensity T dur Duration time of sensation T ext Time to extinction, Time when the sensation can no longer be perceived T trun Truncate Time SIMS 2000 uses the same flexible Line Scales for Time Intensity data collection. Data reporting and analysis includes textual summary and detail reports, individual panelist time-intensity graphs, entire panel time-intensity graphs (using key curve parameters method) and Curve Parameter Analysis Summary using Panel Means by Sample with Significance Test (p-value).
