In the food and beverage industry, little can be done without the benefits of a professional panel of human assessors. A sensory panel is the most effective, most natural tool to describe the complex properties of food that trigger our five senses when consuming a product. Yet, sensory profiling is only useful when the panel is well-trained and the evaluations are validated.
