    Foundation Certificate in Sensory Principles

    Description

    Covers the underlying principles of sensory analysis, the human senses, panel screening and training, and best-practice product sampling procedures. Accredited by the Institute of Food Science & Technology (IFST), the course features a short multiple choice exam at the end of the day.

    With practical examples throughout the day, delegates will:

    • Understand the human senses and their limitations
    • Gain a better understanding of the different analytical and hedonic tests available
    • Learn how to conduct screening tests to determine candidates' ability to discriminate levels of intensity of a given attribute

    Foundation Certificate in Sensory Principles is also held in Dublin, Ireland on 24 March 2010. Click here for further information.
