Time Intensity Tests
Do you need to measure the aroma, flavour or textural characteristics of a product over a period of time? The Compusense Sensory and Consumer Research Group can accomplish this type of specialized descriptive analysis by conducting time intensity tests. We’ll evaluate specific product attributes (e.g. the aftertaste of an artificial sweetener). Time intensity tests help you evaluate a product over time, in terms of rate, duration and intensity. These tests provide a detailed picture of product parameters such as onset, maximum intensity and linger effects, in addition to the overall impact of a specific product.
