Sensory evaluation is a scientific approach that gathers
information about product
sensory characteristics, consumer perception and their
decision-making process.
Measuring characteristics of food as perceived by the human
senses can be tedious
and subjective. Through the iFN! program, the !nstitute aimed to
minimi"e subjectivity of
sensory evaluation methods by employing !#T-enabled application
called eS$%.
The development of enhanced Sensory $valuation %aboratory
&eS$%' soft(are helps
deal (ith the uncertainty of data in sensory evaluation. eS$% is
a computer-based
application for researchers performing product and recipe
development. !t offers
convenient, efficient, time-saving and science-based assessment
of a product)s sensory
characteristics and consumer preference.
The soft(are interface is simple and straightfor(ard in
addressing the needs of different
users. !t has user-friendly lay-out of test *uestionnaires for
the convenience of panelist
or the respondent and customi"able features like sample
presentation, randomi"ation,
blocking, and blind coding that is effective in assisting
product developer in the
e+ecution of test.
!t also includes an automatic data entry in computers for
improved storage and retrieval
of data and easy-to-understand database design to facilitate
processing and evaluation
of sensory data for timely results.
