SENSORY 4.0 AREA
New to our in-house Technology Centre is the state-of-the-art sensory 4.0 area for objective sensory food tests and goal-oriented training.

All processed data and results are immediately available for presentation and discussion.
The skilled, in-house OFC sensory panel carries out sensory evaluations on behalf of the customer. The panel can work on a variety of objectives to increase success, for example in the context of new product developments, recipe and / or process changes, comparisons with competitor’s products as well as assessments of sensory effects on shelf-life.

OFC Pro-Senso

This sensory app was developed by OFC specifically for product development, quality assurance and control as well as sales and marketing. Your sensory panel can input their assessments regarding individual topics/questions quickly and easily. In addition, the results of the sensory evaluations are immediately available, which enables short-term data analysis and further processing of projects.

With the OFC Pro-Senso app, you have the possibility to present the tasting results clearly for meetings as well as discussions and to save and compare all data digitally. By eliminating the need for paper-based test sheets, you save an enormous amount of time during both the tasting preparations and the results analysis, plus you minimise input errors which may otherwise occur in the data transfer.
