Sensory Analysis - Introductory course in Sensory Methods

Purpose

Using sensory analysis enables a measure of a product's sensory character. The appearance, taste, flavor, aroma and mouthfeel are some of the perceptions measured by sensory analysis on food products. These methods are also applicable on non-food products such as packaging or cosmetics.

During 2 days you and your company will receive an introduction to sensory analysis and what aspects that influence choice of method and results. 

RISE has a long experience of practical courses where theory is mixed with several exercises to reach a deepened understanding of the most important methods. 

An understanding of how sensory analysis is conducted and when it can be utilized enables a more effective product development and quality assurance of your products.
