Sensory analysis is significant in food product development, and its importance impacts the maintenance of sensory qualities for food products. While there are many books exploring sensory analysis and its methods, this is the first of its kind to also explore the use of engineering tools and instruments to produce measurable and reliable data. In exploring sensory analysis methods, this book also focuses on the novel computer interface technologies to retrieve human sensory perceptions directly from the human body and convert them into a measurable unit, exploring the present status in computer interface technologies and scope for interventions to overcome obstacles.
