Vineland welcomes new sensory panelists

Vineland’s Consumer, Sensory & Market Insights creates impact for the horticulture industry by identifying opportunities to fill market gaps, expand market share and guide new product development.

Since 2009, Vineland’s trained sensory panel has been an integral part of the research team, providing robust and reliable data on sensory properties of horticultural products. This information helps define product sensory spaces, identify new product opportunities and, in combination with consumer research, identify liking drivers and predict consumer preference.  

Recruiting new panel members is essential in maintaining a specific minimum number of panelists to confidently carry out sensory methods such as descriptive analysis and difference tests. Eleven new panelists joined the group during a recent recruitment effort, bringing the panel total to 27 members.
