Sensory analysis

What does the food actually look and taste like? Describing the taste of a food in a scientific way that can be interpreted by others and then using this to improve product quality in some way is a valuable and perhaps under-appreciated technique.

Campden BRI has a team of highly experienced food tasters who can evaluate the flavour, odour and texture characteristics of products. Advanced statistical analysis then allows products to be grouped, and their similarities and differences quantified. These analyses can also be 'checked' against company or Campden product specifications to see if the product meets requirements.

We have expertise in a range of sensory analysis techniques. As well as full descriptive profiling, we also carry out a range of discrimination tests - such as triangle tests - to investigate potential taint problems or the effects on the product of changes in ingredients or process. All of this takes place in our state-of-the-art sensory facilities.
