Product groups of sensory tests

Our sensor panel has a level of expertise that is outstanding in the industry. Sensor technology is an independent analytical test method in which features such as the appearance, smell, consistency or texture of products are objectively tested and evaluated. This is done with the help of trained human sensory organs following scientific standards and relevant DIN standards.

We test a wide range of matrices for you according to the following topis:

  • Visual impression
  • Olfactory impression
  • Gustatory impression
  • Haptic and auditory impression

For sensory tests, we have our in-house sensory laboratory at our disposal, which provides a constant, interference-free test environment in accordance with the applicable requirements.
