Application Range
Our sensory evaluation instruments give practical tools for decision making in quality control & product development:
- Benchmarking of competitive products and characterization of sensory differences
- Sensory profiling to help select the optimal formulation
- Follow-up of sensory features ageing over time (stability & shelf-life testing)
- Sensory quality preservation testing upon change of supplier, ingredient or process
- Determination of the best storage conditions to preserve organoleptic quality
- Sensory conformity checking, investigation of defect origin
Benefits of our Solutions
- Make sensory evaluation more reliable and objective
- Improve production sensory quality and consistency over time
- Standardize sensory quality in production plants worldwide
- Monitor the organoleptic features of your products
- Qualify customer claims to reduce financial loss
