The first line of quality control and product evaluation in commercial beverage and food production is formed by trained taste panels working as part of a quality assurance program. By effectively and appropriately utilizing taste panels, collecting and analyzing the results compiled from trained tasters, and taking the right actions based on the results, your company will improve quality, consistency, and profitability.
With content and instruction provided by noted sensory panel experts, the Siebel Institute Sensory Panel Management course guides you through the tools and techniques used by many of today’s leading breweries, beverage companies, and food producers to assess their products and analyze data, ensuring the highest quality and consistency. While showcasing tools used in the brewing industry, course content can be applied to other beverages (alcohol-free drinks, kombucha, seltzers) and food products. Whether you are new to the field of sensory panel operations or have an established program, this course is critical for food and beverage companies of every size.
