Understanding what the consumer wants and will accept are two of the most significant hurdles faced by anyone in new product development.

Rezensionen
"In recent years there has been an effort to more closely link a product's sensory experience more closely with imagery and market strategy on a global basis.These issues, along with topics such as measurement and human choice behaviour are explored, making it a timely resource for those working in product development." --FST Magazine, May 2013

"Previously published between 1985 and 2004, the reference for sensory professionals and textbook for students is updated again to keep abreast both of sensing technology and of widening applications, primarily in product development in food, beverages, and electronic devices. It covers organizing and operating a sensory evaluation program, measurement, test strategy and the design of experiments, discrimination testing, descriptive analysis, affective testing, and strategic applications. Academic Press is an imprint of Elsevier." --Reference and Research Book News, October 2012
