• The sensory panelist is qualified based on documented training and experience: All panelists will be provided by Senopsys, LLC: Panelists have been trained to detect, identify, recognize, and accurately describe different taste elements and flavor combinations and to measure oral disintegration times. Training is initially accomplished by tasting model compounds and learning to recognize and describe these accurately. These abilities are then honed and refined through additional experience in performing product testing.
