physikalisch und sensorisch untersucht

Deutsch > Englisch Sonstige Lebensmittel food conservation
A study to investigate the effect of different protective cultures on the microbiological and sensory product quality of fresh, MAP packed minced poultry meat stored at +2°C. Fresh minced turkey meat was prepared which was inoculated during preparation with the two protective cultures being compared, then packed and stored in a modified atmosphere, and then: “an den Lagerungstagen 0, 3, 5, 7 und 10 mikrobiologisch, physikalisch und sensorisch untersucht wurde“.

I’m not sure whether “physically examined” is appropriate here, or of the best way of translating “sensorisch“.

Discussion

KenOldfield (asker) Mar 5, 2009:
physikalisch und sensorisch untersucht I'm not sure - possibly it means checked for physical characteristics (texture, colour, appearance etc)
Anne-Marie Grant (X) Mar 5, 2009:
Do you think physikalisch here means manually/by hand?

examined physically and tasted by testers

physikalisch here I think means physically, not science (physics), but in the sense of quality (body, as in body and mind), since they checked 0, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days after packed and stored in a modified atmosphere, and sensorisch is like you said, sampled the product and assessed its characteristics - flavor, taste, etc.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Edith Kelly : could also be tested in terms of smell etc. and not simply in terms of taste

subjected to physical and sensory examination

"sensorisch" is not "tasted" bc it can also entail smelling and visual examination (as in a "sensorische" examination of a wine).

Deutsch term (edited): physikalische und sensorische Untersuchung

physical and sensory analysis

...is the phrase that is commonly used for analysing food products.

It should be easy to turn the verb 'untersuchen' in your source text into a noun in the translation.

Good luck!

subjected to physical analysis and sensory testing

I propose to use "analysis" with "physical" and "testing" with "sensory".

Physical characteristics are namely usually analyzed while sensory characteristics are tested...
