Product Analysis

Product Matching:

R&D is often presented with the challenge of matching a given product concept, prototype, or existing product.

AA&T applies the strength of its sensory testing and descriptive profiling expertise and techniques to efficiently develop “product match” successes by:

• Establishing a flavor profile of the product being matched—“Control Fingerprint”
• Monitoring approximation to that control during development

AA&T also develops and utilizes a descriptive profiling scorecard to monitor and evaluate product during production for:

• Consistency of existing product quality
• Consistency of product among manufacturing facilities
• Similarity of product during transition of manufacture to a new facility

When appropriate, AA&T will train an “in house panel” to monitor product consistency.
