Our trained sensory technology experts perform all relevant sensory analyses - from the classic method according to the DLG 5-point schemes to matrix-based profile testing. 

We also provide you with programs for in-house training in the form of individualized training materials.

 

The fascination of sensory technology lies, among other things, in the fact that taste never stops changing and is constantly being redefined.
