New study on personalizing context in consumer testing! Liking is more stable in frequently used scenarios, while non-JAR attributes face a higher penalty in personally relevant settings. Shout out to Dr. Kym Man who led this work. Article link below! authors.elsevier.com/a/1hF0R3O579jv…

Don’t WASTE any time-read this article now! New research led by Aishwarya Badiger and in collaboration with Brian Roe used eye tracking to show that >50% of discard decisions involving milk are made with no fixation on the label phrase. See results here 10.1016/j.wasman.2023.06.006

New paper from our collaboration with Devin Peterson led by Brianne Linne. We deconstruct coffee “body” into mouthcoating, astringency, chalkiness & thickness sensations and identify compounds contributing to mouthcoating. Great work Brianne! See it here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1hKYP3RC06AH…

Talking Taste—New research led by Ashley Soldavini assessed smart-speaker questionnaires in sensory testing. Traditional computer-based survey proved most engaging and usable, while smart-speaker surveys fell short. Read paper here: mdpi.com/2304-8158/12/1…

Great piece of work!

#TUCT: What's candy got to do with smell/taste testing. Christopher T. Simons, Ohio State on how candy was used successfully to assess chemosensory loss in patients with active COVID-19. Utilizando caramelos, pudimos evaluar exitosamente la pérdida quimiosensorial en pacientes con COVID-19.

In late 2023, SSP launched its University Outreach campaign to highlight SSP’s value and invite professors and students in Sensory & Consumer Science programs to join. We visited the Ohio State Food Science program, and hope to visit more programs in 2024! #sensoryscience #sensorysociety

Congratulations to Associate Professor Christopher T. Simons pictured with some current and former students, on receiving the 2024 Peryam Award at the Society of Sensory Professionals conference for outstanding contributions of professionals in the applied sensory science field. #CFAES

Want the “scoop” on protein powders? Plant and animal proteins create distinct textures and mouthfeel in beverages. Turns out, protein source is more important than concentration when it comes to the mouthfeel of your smoothie!! Read about it here! authors.elsevier.com/a/1kD-I_LcwKBN…

New paper alert! We integrate traditional consumer testing into a discrete choice experimental design to enable the simultaneous gathering of insights into sensory preferences and extrinsic product attributes. Link to the paper here: dx.doi.org/10.1111/joss.7…

Descriptive analysis panels can struggle with disengagement, leading to poor data quality. Is gamification the solution? We studied how game elements impact panelist engagement & performance—with promising results! Nice job Chia Yu Kuei! The paper is here: doi.org/10.1111/joss.7…
