Digital Sensory Science: Applications in New Product Development provides a comprehensive overview of digital sensory science, an area that has broadly been defined as the use of technology to measure, explain and/or predict sensory perception. The goal of this book is to illustrate to the reader the opportunities around digital sensory science as well as the challenges to be overcome. This book offers practical guidance to both researchers and practitioners of sensory science.
- Explores how technologies create further opportunities around the use of sensory panels, instrumentation and flavor, biometrics and implicit measures, immersion and context, and communication of sensory findings
- Presents these opportunities with case studies
- Provides guidance for both researchers and practitioners of sensory science in a digital age
