Sensory analysis is an objective method that is based on the 5 senses and the organoleptic characteristics (visual, olfactory, gustatory, tactile and mechanical) of food and allows us to compare products and verify their quality. This kind of test is carried out to check the organoleptic conformity of a particular food or observe the organoleptic changes during the commercial life of the product.
The main tests carried out are:
• Sensory test on cheeses according to the Etana model by Bozzetti, Morara, Zannoni
• Panel test with the processing of radar graphics
