The discussion sessions were carried out in a classroom, in different days, and they were recorded, listening their content when concluding each one, to achieve a better precision in the remaining interviews. The mentioned attributes were grouped by organoleptic characteristic, determining their frequency and the percentage that these represented according to the total number of students. For the custard, a total of 67 attributes were identified, which they use as signals of sensory quality to accept and prefer it.
