The book is structured in three parts:
- Part 1: Foundations of Sensory Science provides a scientific overview of human sensory systems and introduces key testing methodologies including discrimination, descriptive, and affective (hedonic) analysis.
- Part 2: Consumer Behavior and Product Development explores how consumer preferences shape food innovation, with chapters on segmentation, emotional response, sensory-driven branding, packaging, shelf-life evaluation, and cross-cultural research.
- Part 3: Advanced Topics and Applications delves into cutting-edge areas such as sensory AI, multisensory integration, functional foods, sensory testing in special populations, and the ethical challenges posed by emerging sensory technologies.
From sensory thresholds to the role of AI in flavor profiling, from sustainability trends to product reformulation strategies, the text bridges theory and real-world application. It includes case studies, experimental design guidance, statistical frameworks, and insight into panelist trainingempowering readers to conduct high-quality sensory research and create products that align with evolving consumer demands.
Whether you're a student of food science or a product developer aiming to optimize sensory performance, this book offers the critical tools and perspectives needed to succeed in a market where sensory appeal and consumer insight are more vital than ever.
