A FlavorActiV Aroma Analysis Practical Workshop: Augmenting Human Sensory with E-Nose Technology
6th to 8th October 2026
Overview
Join FlavorActiV for an interactive three-hour sensory workshop exploring how E-Nose technology can support and enhance sensory processes when augmented with human sensory. Through technical insight, a live laboratory demonstration and a guided tasting session using GMP Flavour Standards, you will discover how human sensory and the E-Nose can work together to improve product quality, consistency, and decision making.
What You Will Gain
By the end of the workshop, you will have:
- A clearer understanding of how E-Nose technology complements human sensory assessment
- Examples of how combined sensory and analytical instrument data can support quality and product quality
- Insight into how samples are prepared, analysed, and interpreted
- An opportunity to discuss potential applications within your own organisation
