Table A1.
A list of descriptive sensory terms for the sensory characteristics of Pisum sativum L. developed from the initial shortlisted constructs. The list has been developed through the removal of synonyms, synonym-like constructs, and other similar words that were found as “repetitive” in the initial full list of descriptive sensory terms for peas, as defined by the Cambridge Dictionary [27]. These descriptive sensory terms can be used in panel-based sensory evaluation but require further screening as many of these terms have been used interchangeably between different categories of sensory characteristics, as listed in Table 2.
