ASTM International is developing a standard that relates to such questions as how long a brand of chewing gum retains its flavor and whether a piece of steak remains tender as it is being chewed.
The Subcommittee E18.04 on Fundamentals of Sensatory is developing the standard, and the ASTM International Committee E18 on Sensatory Evaluation of Materials and Products has jurisdiction over the matter.
The proposed standard reportedly began with a workshop that drew sixty E18 members.
