Sensory Analysis Training Kits
Training and calibrating sensory panelists is vital to maintaining a reliable analytical instrument. To help our clients and customers learn and apply basic sensory analysis skills, we have developed a Basic Sensory Skills Introductory Kit and a Descriptive Analysis Basic Reference Kit to make training and calibration quick and easy.
Each kits serves 15 trainees and will enable a small company, QA team or a classroom to learn basic skills in the recognition of the basic tastes and aromas that characterize food and beverage flavors.
Introductory Kit
The Introductory Kit provides examples of how visual cues affect expectation of flavor, how to separate aroma from basic tastes, and the effect of caramelization when roasting Spanish peanuts. Kits include packets of premeasured references for salty, sweet, sour and bitter tastes, fruit punch, cinnamon/sugar blend, coded sample cups with lids and taster spoons. A CD includes all preparation instructions and training exercise sheets. All you provide is bottled water and mixing bowls!
Descriptive Analysis Basic Reference Kit
The Descriptive Analysis Basic Reference Kit is a collection of odor references used to train a group of panelists. Developing a common language based on common experience is like tuning the orchestra to a single note. Each player hears the same note and each tunes his instrument to match that note. A sensory panel operates in the same manner. Each panelist sniffs the same references and applies the same term to those references so that there is a common understanding of what the term means.
The Reference Kits will be customizable. Simply select 15 of the references from the list. We will be adding more references and welcome requests for new ones.
Some items are perishable therefore kits should be used within 14 days of receipt.
Orders must be received a minimum of three weeks before your training date.
