Food Insights
To enhance competitiveness for the food sector, the fast-changing nature of food products and consumer behaviour provide opportunities to innovate and create. Linking consumer trends and sustainability research, the Food Insights and Sustainability Service deliver research to enable and activate.
The Food Insights and Sustainability Service has a fully equipped product sensory assessment suite and a New Product Development kitchen. Supported by qualified and industry experienced sensory scientists, the facility provides a range of sensory services ranging from product profiling and consumer panelling to organoleptic assessment training for staff and business support for product development, reformulation and market analysis.
