Analysing data from descriptive sensory analysis and novel sensory methods
9 - 10 April 2019, Ås, Norway
Nofima at Ås, Norway and RISE, The Swedish Research Institute, in Gothenburg, Sweden cooperate in arranging courses in sensory analysis.
This course will focus on analysis and interpretation of descriptive sensory data and data from novel sensory methods such as CATA and Projective mapping. The course will be based on both lectures, practical demonstrations and exercises (see detailed program enclosed). The course will be taught in English. Target group: The course is suited for those who know the basics of sensory analysis but feel that they need to learn more about how to analyse and interpret the data. Basic knowledge of statistical concepts is needed. Lectures: Tormod Næs (Nofima) Paula Varela Tomasco (Nofima) Ingunn Berge (Nofima) Mats Carlehög (Nofima) Penny Bergma (RISE). More information
