Heterogeneous Products: Food and Aroma. No matter how heterogeneous a product is, our trained DA panelists are adept at evaluating samples that display a wide variety of textures and flavors. Fried chicken that has different textures on the edges than in the middle? We got this! Baked good with thick icing, airy cake and creamy filling? No problem! By implementing specific tasting protocols we ensure all elements in a product are evaluated to give an accurate and complete profile.

Love it or hate it, candy corn, or as it was once known, "chicken feed," is everywhere this time of year.

Weigh in, which side of the candy corn debate do you fall on?

Do you think its former branding would have made it more or less appealing to you?

It’s National Beige Day, and we’re here to say: beige isn’t boring, it’s brilliant!

In sensory evaluation, neutral walls help keep the focus on the senses, not the decor. That’s why our evaluation rooms follow ASTM guidelines for color neutrality.

Residual texture = the mouthfeel that lingers.

Our expert food & aroma panelists analyze what stays behind: mouthcoating, toothpack, & more to help brands refine sensory experiences.

How can we help you refine your product? 

Reach out: https://pxl.to/sensoryspectrum

#ProductDevelopment #Food
Woman with colorful blue and white sprinkles on her tongue, which she is sticking out. What is Residual Texture Food and Aroma Our food panelists are trained to profile the residual texture experience like the amount of coating left on the tongue and palate after expectoration (residual mouthcoating), amount of loose particles remaining on the mouth surfaces, and amount of material compacted into the molars/crevices of the teeth (toothpack) and adhering to the sides of the teeth (toothstick).
