Sensory shelf life tests

Sensory shelf life is often shorter than microbiological and chemical shelf life. A shelf life date that is too long damages the image and lowers repeat purchases, while a shelf life date that is too short leads to unnecessary product loss.

Our sensory shelf life tests offer answers to the following questions:

What is the maximum sensory shelf life?
When can a significant deterioration of the crunchiness of a cookie be observed?
How does the product evolve after opening the packaging?
Which packaging can extend the sensory shelf life?
After what period is discolouration of meat no longer acceptable to the consumer?
How quickly does coffee lose its aroma?

Tools: quantitative consumer research - FCM testing - difference testing: scoring test - triangle test - ranking test - multiple comparison test - paired comparison test - difference from reference test
