Chapter 15 - Consumer-based methodologies for sensory characterisation

Summary

Sensory characterisation is one of the most powerful and widely used tools in sensory science, both in industrial and academic settings. For decades, Descriptive analysis with trained assessors has been regarded as the golden standard for describing the sensory characteristics of products.
