Enhanced Sensory Evaluation Laboratory

(eSEL) Software

Logo Description
for IPR application

The image represents the role of Sensory Evaluation

in product assessment. The five tiles are the
measurements registered by human senses such as
appearance, odor, texture, mouth feel and taste .
Through the Enhanced Sensory Evaluation
Laboratory (eSEL) software, the interplay of the
sensory attributes is within the fingertips of product
developers. A convenient, efficient, time-saving and
science-based assessment of product characteristics
and consumer preference enables FNRI to effectively
develop and innovate nutritious product that is
needed and appealing to every Juan and Juana.

Sensory Evaluation is a scientific approach that gathers information

about product sensory characteristics, consumer perception and their
decision making process. Measuring characteristics of food as
perceived by the human senses can be tedious and subjective. The
development of enhanced Sensory Evaluation Laboratory (eSEL)
software helps deal with the uncertainty of data in sensory evaluation.
eSEL is a computer-based application for researchers performing
product and recipe development. It offers convenient, efficient, time-
saving and science-based assessment of product’s sensory
characteristics and consumer preference.

The software interface is simple and straightforward in addressing the

needs of the different users: user-friendly lay-out of test questionnaires
for the convenience of panelist or the respondent; customizable
features like sample presentation, randomization, blocking, and blind
coding that is effective in assisting product developer in the execution
of test; automatic data entry in computers improved storage and
retrieval of data; and easy-to-understand database design facilitated
processing and evaluation of sensory evaluation data for timely results.

Understanding the food choices of every Juan and Juana is now within
strokes of our fingertips because of information technology. By
providing our researchers an aid to a convenient, efficient and timely
evaluation of product’s sensory characteristics and consumer
preferences, FNRI is able to effectively develop and innovate nutritious
products that is needed and appealing to every Juan and Juana.
