Sensory Food Analysis

It is necessary to evaluate a product in terms of its sensory suitability for the market, which is done through tests to assess sensory quality. In the current competitive market scenario, food industries seek to satisfy their consumers, and make them more loyal and adept to their products, winning them over sensorially. That's why sensory analysis has shown to be an important tool in this process, involving a set of techniques elaborated with the purpose of evaluating the sensory quality of a product in several stages of its manufacturing process. Thus, it can be understood as a science that aims, by means of detailed techniques, to study the perceptions, sensations and reactions of tasters about the characteristics of products, including their acceptance and rejection.
