This course is designed to assist you as you select, conduct, analyze and interpret sensory evaluation methods. This approach will be practical with lecture, laboratory and problem-solving sessions. You will learn about sensory physiology, method selection, discriminative and descriptive testing, preference/acceptance testing and statistical analysis of data. An important feature of the course is the laboratory/ demonstration sessions in which you will participate.
