Sensory-Directed Chemical Analysis Workshop
GERSTEL, Inc. and Tufts University Sensory and Science Center (TUSSC) announce an upcoming Sensory Directed Chemical Analysis Workshop scheduled for February 12th – 13th, 2019, at the Tufts University Sensory and Science Center in Medford, Massachusetts. The objective is to integrate sensory and instrumental analysis for investigating off-odors in consumer products, such as foods, beverages, personal care, household products and packaging materials. The course will include lecture, hands-on and interactive discussions. The course is designed for analysts, sensory panelists and managers who need to integrate and effectively communicate sensory and chemical data to solve challenging problems.
Who should attend: Analysts, Sensory Panelists, Managers
