Sensory Evaluation
- A set of techniques for accurate measurement of human responses to foods
- Minimizes potentially biasing effects of brand identity and other information influences on consumer perception
- A scientific method used to evoke, measure, analyze, and interpret those responses to products perceived through the senses of sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing
Evoke
- Stimulating the senses to generate a response
- Presenting the food product in a controlled environment
Measure
- Quantifying the sensory responses using various scales and tools
Analyze
- Examining collected data to identify patterns and draw conclusions
Interpret
- Making sense of the analyzed data to provide actionable insights
- Isolating sensory properties of foods to provide information to product developers, food scientists, and managers
Role of Sensory Evaluation
- Identifying important sensory attributes driving acceptability across a product category
- Identifying sensory-based target consumer segments
- Analyzing competitor products
- Evaluating new concepts
- Identifying sensory properties of foods to provide information to product developers, food scientists, and managers
Product Development Process
- Sensory tests provide useful information about human perception of product changes due to ingredients, processing, packaging, or shelf life
- Sensory information reduces risk in decisions about product development and strategies for meeting consumer needs
