’Twas the night before Christmas when Jack chose a tree—
A tree without problems like the last two or three.
No paint was scratched, no insects, no mold,
The decorated tree was a beaut to behold!
Best of all, its aroma enhanced the whole scene:
On sesquiterpene! On β-bisabolene!
And other terpenes, too, each playing a role
In making the tree smell delightfully whole.
Was it luck that this tree kept its scent all the while?
No-No-No! It was consumer research and chemistry that shaped its profile!
🎄 Congratulations to Angela Chiang, Gabrielle Wyatt, Katlyn Nau, Gary Chastagner, Chal Landgren, Judith Kowalski, Charles Sims, Philipp Zerbe, Justin G. A. Whitehill, and William C. Baldwin on their preprint exploring this fascinating non-food sensory application!
👏 And kudos to all researchers from the Compusense Academic Consortium who published excellent work in April!

Quality test methods are used to evaluate a product based on its sensory attributes and overall consumer perception to ensure it meets certain standards of excellence and consistency. These methods provide a consumer-centric assessment of product quality, ensure consistency and adherence to quality standards and drive continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. Examples include, but are not limited to, Shelf Life, Degree of Difference,
Difference from Control, In/Out, etc.
Quality test methods are used to evaluate a product based on its key attributes to ensure it meets specific standards of excellence for consistency. These methods provide an internal assessment of the product quality to adhere to quality standards and achieve customer satisfaction. Examples include, but are not limited to, Shelf-Life, Degree of Difference, Difference from Control, and In & Out methods.
Discrimination test methods are used to determine if there are noticeable differences or similarities between products. These methods enable effective differentiation between products, aid in quality control and assurance by identifying variations and deviations, as well as facilitate efficient decision-making based on objective data. Examples include, but are not limited to, Tetrad, Triangle, Duo-Trio, Paired Comparison, etc.
