Sensory Evaluation & Analysis
BEMCON designs sensory studies to assess product appearance, aroma, flavour, texture and overall acceptability. Evaluations support prototype selection, reformulation, competitor comparison and investigation of reported changes in product characteristics.

BUILT AROUND YOUR REQUIREMENT
Sensory Evaluation & Analysis with a clear purpose
Each engagement starts with the required outcome, operating context and evidence of success. The result is a focused Sensory Evaluation & Analysis scope with clear responsibilities and handover points.
Validation
Evidence that products and processes perform as intended.
Regulatory approvals
Registration dossiers for SFDA, GSO and other authorities.
Consumer insight
Sensory panels, customer studies and surveys.
8 SPECIALIST CAPABILITIES
What the service can cover
Select the capabilities that match your Sensory Evaluation & Analysis requirement, operating context and agreed delivery stage.
Sensory Study Design & Sample Presentation
Define the study objective, suitable participants, assessment method and sample arrangements. Establish coding, preparation and presentation procedures to support consistent evaluation conditions.
Sensory Difference Testing
Evaluate whether assessors can detect a difference between selected products under controlled conditions. Report the findings separately from conclusions about preference or overall acceptability.
Descriptive Sensory Profiling
Characterise selected appearance, aroma, flavour and texture attributes using an agreed assessment framework. Produce product profiles showing the attributes that distinguish formulations or reference samples.
Consumer Acceptance & Preference Studies
Collect feedback from suitable target consumers on liking and preference. Compare results across products or formulations and identify attributes associated with stronger or weaker acceptance.
Prototype Screening & Selection
Compare development samples against the intended sensory profile. Identify promising formulations, document specific weaknesses and recommend adjustments before further development or production trials.
Competitor Product Benchmarking
Evaluate selected competing products using consistent preparation and assessment conditions. Identify sensory similarities, differences and potential development opportunities without treating sensory results as evidence of market share.
Reformulation & Supplier-Change Sensory Checks
Compare products before and after changes to formulations or ingredient suppliers. Assess perceptible differences and determine whether further consumer evaluation or formulation adjustment is warranted.
Sensory Complaint & Product-Change Investigations
Investigate reported changes in flavour, odour, texture or appearance using suitable reference and affected samples. Characterise the differences and identify questions requiring further technical investigation.
