Multipurpose room with the latest video con-ferencing and remote observation capabilities, perfect for qualitative research or descriptive panel training.
Innovative data collection and analytics soft-ware (Compusense-Cloud).
Access to world-class experts in Sensory and Consumer Sciences as well as in other Food Sci-ence disciplines (Food Chemistry, Microbiology, Enology, Fermentation Science, Food Safety, Food Engineering, etc.).
Demographically diverse panelist pool that can easily accommodate large-scale studies (n=100+).
How are we different
We are part of Cornell University, a premier
non-profit education and research institution.
We provide training and hands-on learning
opportunities to students interested in the
fields of sensory and consumer research.
We serve as an extension of your team.
A dedicated experienced researcher will work
on your project, never a sales person.
What We Do
Since the early 1990s Cornell’s Sensory Evalua-tion Program has served a variety of companies, from Fortune 500 to small businesses, by helping develop and improve their product offering through consumer and sensory testing.
Whether you are looking to develop
a new product or improve upon the
existing one, we can help.
Among the standard services that are offered are...
Acceptability and Preference Testing (CLTs)
Discrimination Testing (2-AFC, Triangle, etc.)
We have expertise in descriptive analyses, flash profiling, time intensity, shelf-life studies, quali-tative research (one-on-one interviews, consum-er discussions), as well as product ideation and brainstorming.
