Sensory analysis

Perception is a complex measure that is best measured by people. Changing the formulation of a product with one ingredient rarely affects only one type of sensory perception, rather potentially many at once. Some things just simply cannot be measured by instruments alone. To know how things taste, smell, feel, and or appear from a human point of view is crucial for making critical decisions in product development and improvement.

RISE has various kinds of sensory analysis techniques at our disposal that are suitable for both research and industry applications. Questions specifically on the perception of senses can be answered using sensory analysis. It can also be combined with consumer tests and instrumental measures to gain a better holistic understanding of products. Therefore sensory analysis can either be a standalone measurement or a complement to other measures to contribute to further in-depth knowledge.

We have many years of experience working with food products, pharmaceuticals, and other non-food products such as and hygiene products and packaging material. The methods we use are applicable also on other kinds of products, ingredients, or even raw materials.

We offer:

• Food approved preparation area. 
• Sensory booths for controlled testing including.
• ISO screened analytical sensory panel.
• Design appropriate experiments.
• A wide range of sensory measurement methodology.
• Broad experience in working with both food and non-food samples.
• Evaluation of results with suitable statistical and advanced data analysis techniques.
• Multidisciplinary collaborations with greater RISE.
• Educational workshops and training.
• Consultancy in sensory evaluation for your needs.
