Consumer and Sensory Research Group meeting, London, 3 November 2006
The techniques of Sensory and Consumer
Analysis have become powerful methods for
product assessment and development,
particularly in the food and drinks industry.
SCI's Consumer and Sensory Research group
has now accepted a specific
remit to further the awareness and
understanding of these methods in the field of
non-food products. This seminar was organised as part of
this process.
Further seminars will be held, probably on an
annual basis, to cover other areas in the field
of non-food sensory and consumer analysis. As
part of this development we particularly
welcome and encourage suggestions and
comments regarding the future direction and
priorities of this SCI-CSRG initiative.
