Dataset for thresholds determination for Matooke key quality traits for acceptability using Consumer Testing (JAR), Instrumental, and QDA, measurements at NARL: Kampala, Uganda.

Data was collected from ten contrasting cooking banana (Matooke) varieties, both landraces and hybrids representing good, medium, and poor varieties based on their characteristics. The varieties were harvested at full maturity based on the fullness of the fingers. A conventional steaming method was used to prepare the matooke wrapped in separate bundles and served to consumers for evaluation. Hedonic/ overall and JAR tests were used during the evaluations. QDA and Instrumental measurements were also conducted which were then compared to determine thresholds for color and Texture following the procedures from https://doi.org/10.18167/agritrop/00778
