What sensory services do we offer?
We offer quantitative descriptive analysis for detailed understanding of the sensory properties of products, using a pool of screened and trained external assessors. We also offer a range of innovative rapid sensory profiling services, which allow for quick and cost-effective assessment of samples.
Our discrimination panel allows testing for both difference and similarity, and (depending on your product) our expert technical quality panel is highly trained in taints and off-flavours. Consumer testing can also be conducted centrally or coordinated for interstate or international markets. Our sensory services are backed by rigorous and statistically robust trial designs and evaluation procedures, which allow independent and objective assessment of a range of foods and beverages.
