food sensory evaluation

Food sensory evaluation is the scientific method of assessing a food product’s characteristics through human senses such as taste, smell, sight, touch, and hearing. It helps determine qualities like flavor, aroma, texture, and appearance, providing valuable insights into product quality and consumer preferences. Trained or panelist assessors use standardized procedures to identify and measure these sensory attributes objectively. This process is essential for food product development, quality control, and ensuring that products meet consumer expectations, ultimately guiding improvements and innovation in the food industry.
