Intensive course

RAPID METHODS FOR SENSORY CHARACTERIZATION

16th-17th September 2014, Nofima Ås (Norway)

(deadline for registration: August 25th)

Aspects related to practical implementation and data analysis will be discussed. Attendees will gain better understanding of the implementation of sensory characterization studies and the interpretation of the results using real-life examples from the industry, including food (beverages, fruits, dairy, bakery, etc..) and non-food products (cosmetics, electronic gadgets). Statistical software for data analysis will be presented.

TENTATIVE PROGRAM

  • Introduction to sensory characterization
  • Classic sensory characterization methodologies: Descriptive Analysis
