Consumer testing encompasses a large portion of sensory objectives to understand your product through your consumers’ perceptions. In addition to collecting data on liking and preferences, we are able to identify the key product characteristics that drive consumers’ overall liking for your product type. Bring your target audience into a centralized, controlled location to receive your consumers’ quantitative and qualitative feedback to ensure the continued success of your product. 

In-home use Testing is vital to understanding how consumers feel about a food or non-food product in the context of their real lives. Mérieux NutriSciences sends consumers home with a testing kit and comprehensive product evaluation instructions. The home users put their feedback directly into our Sensory software system for fast and agile data analysis. 

When you need to know that your product will not change due to production adjustments, ingredient substitutions, or new supplier onboarding, difference testing is a cost-effective and direct way to determine whether panelists can detect those changes in the final product. 

Mérieux NutriSciences has personable and highly trained Sensory Scientists available to train your diverse teams to meet any needs. An initial consultation ensures the training is customized to meet your company's goals. We work with you to create a training program suitable for your stakeholders, from Operations to Quality to Marketing to Sales.

Sensory evaluation is an important component of a robust quality monitoring program. Merieux NutriSciences is a partner to host supplier sensory cuttings within one of our testing facilities or at your site. Sensory program management can be set up as a stand-alone service or in conjunction with a Merieux NutriSciences-managed quality monitoring program.

Our Digital Solutions team can even incorporate sensory data into your larger supply chain management systems for long-term data visualization.
