Enhancing Data Integration, Interoperability in Sensory Analysis of Food Products through Standardization, Sequentiality - A Scientific Roadmap

Standardizing sensory measurements is a critical aspect of the field of sensory science. To ensure the consistent collection and aggregation of sensory data, a structured plan is proposed that includes clear guidelines for standardization and a comprehensive testing process that reflects the needs and opinions of the industry and regular users. Additionally, the implementation of an incentive system is crucial to encourage researchers and food technologists to document their data and comply with the new standard.
