THE AIM OF THE TRAINING

Introduction of participants to the practical application of sensory analysis methods in the evaluation of food products.

Development of skills in the precise identification of organoleptic attributes: taste, aroma, texture, and appearance of products.

Training in the conduct and interpretation of sensory tests, including:

  • triangle test,
  • duo-trio test,
  • paired comparison test,
  • ranking method,
  • 5-point scaling method.

Use of test results in product and marketing decision-making.

Preparation of participants to apply professional sensory methods in their daily R&D and marketing work.

Enhancement of competencies in precise product evaluation and comparison, supporting the development of innovative products tailored to consumer expectations.

The sensory training II is designed primarily for all those associated with sensory analysis and its application in the products development and monitoring, in particular for managers, food technologists, marketing teams, quality assurance departments, on-site laboratories, sales departments and factory workers responsible for the organoleptic evaluation of products in factories.

During training participants will be familiarised with:

  • basic principles for the preparation and execution of organoleptic evaluation in food products
  • chosen sensory techniques used in the food products’ evaluation – examples and application
  • rules for the interpretation of results for selected sensory techniques:
    • DIFFERENCE TESTS – TRIANGLE TEST, DIRECTIONAL PAIRED COMPARISON METHOD, DUO-TRIO TEST
    • 5 POINTs METHOD
    • RANKING TEST
    • SCALING METHOD

A participant also:

  • receive practical tips to the research done with the use of selected sensory techniques
  • take part in practical tasks where selected sensory techniques will be used

About the training

The one-day “Sensory Training II” workshop allows participants to deepen their practical knowledge of sensory evaluation of food products. The training includes tests of taste, aroma, texture and appearance, as well as interpretation of results for marketing and product development purposes.

During the training, we go in detail through professional sensory methods: triangle test, duo-trio, ranking, paired comparison, and 5-point scaling. Participants learn not only how to conduct them correctly, but also how to interpret results in the context of product and marketing decisions.

Training level

Sensory Training II is designed for professionals who already have basic knowledge of sensory analysis.
To fully benefit, we recommend prior participation in Sensory Training I: Basics of sensory analysis or Sensory Workshops offered by Consumer Insight Consulting.

This allows participants to focus on advanced sensory techniques, practical product testing and interpretation of results, maximizing business value and decision-making quality.

Business value

Advanced sensory analysis is not only a research tool – it is key to understanding what truly drives product success on the market.
The ability to detect subtle differences in taste, aroma, texture and appearance enables better product decisions and reduces innovation risk.

Companies investing in advanced sensory science can create products perfectly aligned with consumer expectations, building strong emotional brand connections.

Participants learn practical methods such as:

  • triangle test
  • duo-trio
  • ranking
  • paired comparison
  • 5-point scaling

These tools allow translation of sensory data into real business decisions, improving product success and market performance.

Why choose this?

Precise sensory analysis is the foundation of effective product development. It enables companies to avoid costly mistakes and make decisions based on reliable data:

  • Launching products not accepted by the market – reduces the risk of failed launches and financial losses.
  • Inefficient use of R&D budgets – enables investment in innovations that truly meet consumer expectations.
  • Loss of competitive advantage – a deep understanding of consumer preferences helps brands stand out from competitors.

The training provides practical sensory tools and analytical methods that allow the transformation of sensory observations into strategic product and marketing decisions, fully aligned with current market trends and consumer expectations.
