In this new course, we will link techniques from quality assurance – control charts, action standards, and quality function deployment (QFD) – with sensory methodology and Drivers of Liking®.
Consumers’ liking or satisfaction with products can be unfolded to sensory characteristics that are important to them. This information can then feed into a QFD process to ensure product quality.
While reviewing basic sensory testing methodologies involving difference testing, ratings and hedonics, we will address two practical problems, an ingredient change and the development of a new product to appeal to a segment of consumers with an unmet need.
The course is cast in the context of a cookie company with staff similar to the participants. This means that the learning will resonate immediately and can be easily incorporated into the participants’ normal projects.
The course is taught by Dr. Daniel Ennis and Dr. Benoit Rousseau with invited speakers:
· Dr. Karen Garcia - Symrise
· Frank Rossi - PepsiCo/Frito-Lay
