Sensory Analysis in the Development and Consumer Perception of Dairy Products aims to present and discuss the methodologies that can be used in the development of dairy products and the evaluation of consumer perception of novel dairy foods. Divided into four sections, the book presents the fundamental concepts of sensory analysis using classical/traditional methodologies and innovative methods, including neuroscientific approaches. Case studies demonstrate how these methods have been successfully put into practice during product testing. Sensory Analysis in the Development and Consumer Perception of Dairy Products is a must-have resource for researchers interested in the sensory analysis of dairy, particularly those interested in developing and testing new products.
- Presents and discusses sensory analysis methodologies for consumer perception and product development of dairy products
- Overviews hedonic and emotional responses to sensorial qualities of dairy products
- Explores innovative neuroscientific methods in sensory analysis
Corporate R&D at companies, new product developers and startups in the dairy industry, industry food scientists working with dairy products
