Sensory analysis - Temporal methods
Gain understanding of how the perception of your products/samples change with time during consumption/usage.
Purpose
The perception of food and beverages (and other non-food related products) change with time during consumption (usage). Sometimes such dynamic changes are what makes the products unique. By understanding how perception changes temporally the design of your products can be adjusted to how would like it to be. Several methods are available at RISE that would allow us to measure this for you.
Method
Below is a list of methods which we can use with our sensory panel:
Time intensity: a classic method where the changes in the intensity of a specific attribute can be monitored with time with high resolution.
Progressive profiling: another method that is lower resolution compared to time intensity, but can measure perceived intensities of multiple attributes.
Temporal dominance of sensations (TDS): a method that can track at which time point is a particular sensory attribute dominant. Therefore it selects dominant attributes one at a time depending on how the sensory characteristics change.
Delivery
A written report with a description of methods and results. A report in the form of a presentation is also available as an option.
