OUR SPECIALISATION IN PRODUCT TESTING
In 1992 we chose to specialize in the area of product testing. This has led to the development of a broad, diverse, and proven set of research methodologies that make our Clients consider us as a reference partner in such area.
OUR RESEARCH TECHNIQUES
Senses and emotions play a crucial role in the consumer/product relation and their interpretation requires sophisticated methodologies
A feather in the Consensory® Test System cap is Overview, a multi-client research product that can offer a “scenario” of the brands by crossing consumer preferences with the assessors’ objective sensory measurements, determining the “satisfaction sensory key” of a product.
YOUR PARTNER IN ITALY
A MULTI-COUNTRY HUB FOR YOUR PRODUCT TESTING
The aim of the group is to deliver the same high level of professional services
everywhere, giving clients the possibility to carry out tests in
different countries while having one single point of contact, as well as consistency
in the field services and accuracy in the data delivery.
THE CONSENSORY CORNER
Among the most modern centres in Europe dedicated to sensory research and product testing
The Sensory Rooms in Milan and Bologna dedicated to the objective analysis of the sensory features of the products and they are equipped with 20 booths for the individual evaluation of the sensory assessors.
ADACTA SENSORY SCIENCE ACADEMY
Tailor-made training and refresher courses
Our main objective is to disseminate the culture of sensory sciences, help people understand what they are for and develop their application within the companies.
We don’t like ready-made solutions because companies are all different. Sensory experts, food technologists, marketing researchers, statistics consultants will support companies who want to increase their skills in the area of sensory sciences. A “customized” partnership based on a shared analysis of the company’s needs and peculiarities, which leads to the creation of “ad hoc” sensory science consultancy and training, as well as refresher courses, entirely carried out at the company venues
