- acceptability and preference measurements, - segmentation studies, - explanation of preferences, - quali-quantitative studies of product concepts, - product-packaging adequacy studies, - lthe ranking of sensory criteria in the construction of acceptability and preferences...
Command of the different techniques and analytical tools
|
The ideal profile technique
with the possibility of obtaining leads
to optimise each pertinent

|

|
|
|
|
|
Mapping of preferences
with the possibility of studying consumer segmentations
within a large population
|

|
|
|
|
|
PLS regression
to identify the respective weights of the organoleptic characteristics on acceptability
|

|
|
|
|
|
Penalty analysis which, from JAR scales, enables the identification of the relative impact on acceptability of the different criteria evaluated
|

|
|
|
|
|
