Sensory analysis tests in this software answer to the following questions: :

ARE THESE TWO SAMPLES IDENTICAL?

                      --->DISCRIMINATION TESTS

show differences between two products (alpha risk) or identity between two products (beta risk): triangle – pair duo/trio – A not A – One on four…

  WHAT IS DIFFERENTIATING MY PRODUCT FROM MY COMPETITORS?

WHICH ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF MY PRODUCT THAT I SHOULD IMPROVE?

                      --->PRODUCT PROFILES

 are very important to describe products with different data entries and with a very large number of calculation techniques to create extensive descriptions and statistical analysis on products.

HAS MY PRODUCT CHANGED DURING THE YEAR?

                      --->PRODUCT PROFILE FOLLOW UP

 checks similarity or changes in product in time development analysis with or without a constant standard product.

ARE MY PRODUCTS CONFORM?

                      --->CONFORMITY TESTS / ACCEPTANCE TESTS

 Conformity test checks the identity of finished products as compared to a reference product present or not.

IS MY PANEL RELIABLE AND ADEQUATE?

                      ---> PANEL EVALUATION

 Without additional data entry, system recommends attendance and correctness index for discrimination tests, or panel comparison graphs with repeatability, discrimination, coherence, or still panel consensus coefficients for product profiles.

ARE MY PRODUCTS PREFERRED AND WHY?

                      ---> CONSUMER SURVEY

 You can ask preference for products with an appreciation scale to your panellists, then to link with 'Preference Mapping' techniques this expressed preference with the associated sensory product profile in order to identify the appreciation origins, and means to increase it.

WHAT IS THE LINK BETWEEN FORMULATION AND SENSORY ANALYSIS?

                      ---> FORMULATION

 Formula Optimisation operations with Plan Mixess, Factor Optimisation, Cost Reduction with linear programing, and also Sensory optimisation with model relationships between formulas and Sensory profiles.
