The method on gathering data for the study started with the researcher’s presentation of coded samples of cabibi/freshwater clam sauce to 81 evaluators from differing age groups. The evaluators assessed the cabibi/ freshwater clam sauce formulations as to four quality attributes: color, odor, taste and general acceptability. From this methodology, it was found that the highly and generally accepted cabibi/freshwater clam sauce has the ratio of 500 ml cabibi/freshwater clam broth: 125 ml sugar: 125 ml soy sauce.
