Data Science for Sensory and Consumer Scientists is a comprehensive
textbook that provides a practical guide to using data science in
the field of sensory and consumer science through real-world
applications. It covers key topics including data manipulation,
preparation, visualization, and analysis, as well as automated
reporting, machine learning, text analysis, and dashboard creation.
Written by leading experts in the field, this book is an essential
resource for anyone looking to master the tools and techniques of
data science and apply them to the study of consumer behavior and
sensory-led product development. Whether you are a seasoned
professional or a student just starting out, this book is the ideal
guide to using data science to drive insights and inform
decision-making in the sensory and consumer sciences. Key Features:
• Elucidation of data scientific workflow. • Introduction to
reproducible research. • In-depth coverage of data-scientific
topics germane to sensory and consumer science. • Examples based
in industrial practice used throughout the book
Rapid Sensory Profiling Techniques: Applications in New Product
Development and Consumer Research, Second Edition presents the
latest findings and recommendations on the proper choice and use of
rapid product profiling methods. Each chapter is written by a key
opinion leader on a specific method with discussions on theory,
pros, cons and the application of each method that is demonstrated
through a case study. This valuable resource educates and empowers
those working in research and development on how to meet shorter
product turnaround times at lower cost and with no compromise on
quality. This book is not just needed by the scientific community,
it is an essential must have in an industry challenged by a "speed
to market" mantra.
Sensory evaluation is applied in very diverse and sometimes
unexpected sectors. Nonfood Sensory Practices aims to show how
sensory professionals from sectors other than food have embraced
sensory evaluation methods for product development and
communication of their products' sensory properties. This book is
thus intended as a first assessment of what is happening in nonfood
sectors. It will open perspectives to those sensory professionals
who wish to apply and adapt their expertise in food sensory science
to other types of products, as well as to those working in nonfood
sectors but with lesser background in sensory evaluation. Many
nonfood products are intrinsically complex. They can be used in
diverse ways, often in strong interaction with context and - unlike
food - over several hours, days or months. This book shows how
sensory professionals have adapted to these specificities, not to
mention specific needs in terms of panel management and different
ways to deal with consumers, users, customers or even sometimes
with patients. First chapters present general methodological
principles that will allow readers to fully apprehend the use of
sensory practices. Then, contributions from many professionals in
nonfood sectors will help to realize and promote the potential
added value of sensory evaluation to their own field of
application.
Sensory analysis is an important tool in new product development.
There has recently been significant development in the methods used
to capture sensory perception of a product. Rapid Sensory Profiling
Techniques provides a comprehensive review of rapid methods for
sensory analysis that can be used as alternatives or complementary
to conventional descriptive methods. Part one looks at the
evolution of sensory perception capture methods. Part two focuses
on rapid methods used to capture sensory perception, and part three
covers their applications in new product development and consumer
research. Finally, part four explores the applications of rapid
methods in testing specific populations.
