Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Temporal Dominance of Sensations (TDS) in the Evaluation of DOC Douro Red Wine's Sensory Profile.

ABSTRACT: In the Portuguese Douro region, several DOC (Denomination of Controlled Origin) Douro red wines are produced and, due to the peculiar characteristics of the three Douro sub-regions, present particular imprinted terroirs, that can be perceived when tasted. Considering the DOC Douro wine's sensory profile and terroir, this study aimed to analyze the sensory characteristics of red wines produced in the three Douro sub-regions (Baixo Corgo, Cima Corgo, and Douro Superior) by a single point sensory technique, a Quantitative Descriptive Analysis-QDA^® and also applying a temporal method-TDS (Temporal Dominance of Sensations). The use of QDA and TDS methods proved to be efficient in the wine's sensory profile characterizing. The QDA^® method allowed a detailed classification o
