Reminder: SAAFoST Northern Branch Lecture -- 31 August 2010

“State-of-the-Art Sensory and Consumer Research”

Speaker: Dr Chris Findlay, Compusense Inc., Guelph, Canada


The quality of sensory and consumer research data is continuously improving as new methods are developed and old techniques are refined. This means that the State-of-the-Art is a moving target and we must review Best Practices on an ongoing basis.

Three examples will be presented:
1. Applying immediate feedback for descriptive panel training and calibration;
2. Improving consumer data collected over the internet;
3. Segmentation of consumer liking of high-fatigue products using sensory design and balanced incomplete blocks.

In each of these areas, current research has led to significant advances in methodology that make the results of sensory research more valuable.
