Sensory characteristics (evaluated by quantitative descriptive analysis and as the hedonic ratings) of sprouts obtained from lentil, Mung bean, pea and soybean sprouts were assessed. It was found that the palatability of sprouts was negatively correlated with bitterness and astringency of these products. However, the statistically significant correlation between the content of total phenolic compounds and negative sensory attributes (bitterness and astringency) was not found.
