Sensory Evaluation

Sensory EvaluationCreascience can help you make the most of R&D and marketing efforts by helping implement innovative methods to maximize the sensory quality of products. We provide an array of services for the design of sensory tests, advanced statistical analysis, interpretation of results, panel performance and monitoring.



Our statisticians have each more than 15 years of experience working with the design and analysis of sensory tests, are involved in international committees in this field and have contributed to several scientific publications on the topic. Thus, you can trust them from the planning phase of a project until its end to bring you the most recent methods in order to gather reliable data and make the best use of them. Over the years, we have developed two specific field of expertise: first, we have a lot of experience relating different types of data, for instance to understand what drives the liking of specific products by consumers, or to establisk relationships between sensory and chemical/physical properties of products. Second, we can help you with designing efficient shelf life studies for your products using sensory tools.

Other typical interventions include:

  • Choice and set up of efficient sensory tests
  • Statistical tools for the selection and training of sensory panels
  • Statistical analysis of the performance of panels
  • Statistical process control based upon sensory data
  • Statistical data analysis and interpretation of results
  • Segmentation of consumers and classification of products
We also offer an extensive range of training sessions focused on various statistical tools used in sensory evaluation and consumer research. To learn more, visit the catalog of training sessions offered by Creascience.
 

Why Choose Us?

  • We discuss projects among our group of statisticians so that the solutions we suggest are not only based on a single point of view.
  • We can easily communicate with people without mathematical background, but we can also handle mandates involving theoretical developments.

Working With Us

All our interventions are based on a close collaboration with the client, as we do not believe in canned solutions nor that it is possible to handle any statistical work without having enough knowledge of the context, goals and constraints of the project. This means that no matter whether it is for designing a study or analyzing data, be prepared to be asked many questions!

We actually take the collaboration with our clients seriously enough to offer them the option of using a user-friendly and secure web interface to track projects and time spent on them, ask questions and exchange information between all concerned parties.
