Sensory Profiling (M4) encourages you to improve your sensory and perception expression capabilities by delving into the structure of sensory analysis and the different types of tests, before moving on to the construction of product evaluation sheets and, therefore, to descriptive tests with high informative utility and high definition.

 

The contents of the theoretical part include:

• the structure of sensory analysis: consumer tests, discriminant tests, descriptive tests; techniques and methods to learn to describe products effectively;

• characteristics of the descriptors and the construction of the evaluation form;

• characteristics of the product category in question and variations in the production chain which lead to variations in the sensorial profile;

• the interpretation of the tasting data and the evaluation of oneself.

The theoretical part is supported by practical tests that help participants to get to the heart of the product category: participants perform a semantic descriptive test and two descriptive tests with high informative utility and/or high definition.
