DMRI and sensory evaluation

At DMRI, we have more than 40 years of experience with sensory evaluation.

Our sensory laboratory is accredited according to DANAK's regulations. We have a sensory judging room with 18 individual boxes that follow the specification of DS/EN ISO 8589. In addition, we have a large test kitchen where samples can be prepared under controlled conditions.

Although we specialize in the meat area, over the years we have evaluated everything from ice cream and soft drinks to biscuits and chocolate.  In the last few years, we have also worked a lot with side streams from various productions.

We participate in international meetings and conferences to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field of sensory evaluation.

Our sensory team consists of:

Furthermore, Marlene provides guidance for companies who want to perform their own sensory evaluations and organizes training classes for their in-house sensory panels.
