About 21st Sensory, Inc.
We answer questions.
Ask us how your product is affected by packaging, abuse, formulation changes, ambient storage and different suppliers. Ask us how your product compares to competitors or how it changes over time.
Ask us how a consumer feels about your product. Does she like it? Does she like it better than Brand X? Better than the original formulation? Could she tell it was different when you changed suppliers?
We address long term, complicated questions.
Which diaper pail controls diaper odor best? Which frozen rice bowl formulation shows the least flavor and texture degradation after 18 months in a freezer? Which lotion absorbs the quickest and leaves the least residue? Which package retards oxidative changes?
We know time is important.
When handling your case, we know time is important. Some of your questions can be answered the day we receive your product. In most cases, about 95% of our projects are completed within a week after receiving your product. That's fast performance.
We won't compromise.
Still, we refuse to compromise good science and sensory practices for the sake of being fast. That's why we have a premier group of professionals and highly trained sensory panelists ready to address your project without delay.
