Our research in the field of Sensory Analytics
Our interdisciplinary research field involves food chemistry, food technology, physiology, and human sensory analytics and studies the various sensory perceptions that are experienced when eating foods and the resulting physiological and psychological processes that are triggered in humans.
Focus is also put on the interaction of people with everyday products such as cosmetics and textiles. Odor, taste, color, texture, and the interplay between the different senses are characterized individually and also in multisensory studies. A particular emphasis of our research is the development, optimization, and analysis of odors and tastes, including evaluation of their perception and effects in people.
We also evaluate exposure to physiologically harmful volatile substances.
