The R‐index is a sound methodology, which has been introduced, developed, and used in the sensory and consumer fields for several decades. The R‐index methodology can be used both to measure and to test sensory difference and consumer preference. This paper provides an R code for calculation of the R‐index critical value for difference testing, which is a supplement to or an alternative for the published table in Bi & O'Mahony (2007) (Journal of Sensory Studies, 22, 713–720). Practical applications: The R code provided in the short contributions overcomes the limitation of the previously published table of R‐index critical values in Bi & O'Mahony (2007) (Journal of Sensory Studies, 22, 713–720) with its limited number of sample sizes and required equal size for the control sample and test sample.
