Aroma profile analysis – possible applications and informative value of a proven sensory procedure

The procedure does not require any instrumental equipment – thus enabling a quick first sensory impression of a product – but years of experience and sensory training which affect the outcome. A trained sensory panel evaluates fixed aroma descriptors on a scale from 0 (not…
