Sensory analysis measures the human senses including taste, texture, appearance and smell in a controlled environment. Sensory evaluation is essential for developing new products and assessing product characteristics. It can help to ensure consumer satisfaction and market success. It helps to design questionnaires, recruit consumers, conduct sensory tests and work with the food industry on sensory studies. Whether it is a brand new product or a product that has been on grocery store’s shelves for years, or in clinical trials, we can help.

Nutraceutcal and functional foods are used to combat the nutritional disorders. Efficacy study is a way to check the effectiveness of certain nutrient or drug. Efficacy can be defined as the performance of an intervention under ideal and controlled circumstances. Efficacy means that the tested dose of the drug or specific nutrient is effective at ameliorating the treated condition. A typical goal of a safety and efficacy (SE) study is to estimate certain clinical end points with a specified amount of precision.

This will be based on studying the etiology of diet related diseases (from a biomedical perspective), the strategies or prevention in the community setting (from a behavioral and environmental perspective) and treatment in the curative setting (from a clinical perspective). In this way, epidemiology strengthens the understanding of maintaining good health and diseases etiology, and helps quantify the impact of public health interventions on individual and environmental outcomes.
