Tools and Applications of Sensory and Consumer Science - The Institute of Perception Course

In this 3.5-day course you will:

• Understand why different sensory methodologies can yield different decisions

• Recognize the importance of test instructions
• Explore the tetrad test as a powerful alternative to the triangle test

• Develop standards for consumer-relevant sensory differences
• Connect results of internal panel testing to consumer response
