Quality testing and competitive benchmarking through sensory analysis 

Sensory analysis is the science of using the human senses as a testing and measuring tool. It can be used to make competitive comparisons on the basis of the main characteristics of food (appearance, smell, taste and texture) and to check the quality of food.

The standardisation of terms and methods, together with the use of statistical techniques to evaluate the results of sensory tests, has made sensory analysis and its findings a recognised science. The basic prerequisites for this are, among other things, the correct selection of suitable test persons (experts vs. consumers) and ensuring the appropriate training of the test persons.

A strong partner at your side 

Using continuously trained volunteers or specifically recruited consumers the Eurofins Food & Feed Testing laboratories in Germany offer both, expert and consumer testing. Project managers provide targeted advice on the right choice of methods, and experienced sensory experts offer basic or product-specific seminars and workshops.
