The sensory or organoleptic evaluation of a product directly influences the consumer’s decision to repurchase it. This type of analysis is essential for:
- Quality control: Ensures consistency in flavor, texture, color, and aroma.
- Determining shelf life: Assesses how storage and packaging conditions affect the product.
- Flavor profiles: Identifies sensory attributes that drive consumer preferences.
- Contamination detection: Verifies if external factors negatively affect the product.
