Flavor, texture and quality are judged by people, and people are variable instruments. Sensory evaluation is the science of turning those judgments into reliable data to guide product decisions. This course gives you the foundation: how the senses work, what each type of sensory test measures, and how to interpret their results. Sessions will be a mix of theory and practice. In every session you will smell, taste and score real samples, then look at the group's data to see the principles in action. You will learn the terms sensory scientists use to describe and interpret product differences, when to use each of the main methods, and the basics of how a sensory study is designed and reported. The course is built for people new to sensory work, whether you'll be running tests or reading the results.
