No more flavor taste black boxes - iSense creates unique sensory profiles for individual flavors, enabling flavor discrimination, comparability and search
iSense creates unique sensory profiles for individual flavors. We call it “digitizing flavors”. We do it with dedicated trained panels, using transparent flavor languages and standardized well-known sensory methodologies.
While flavor houses might present their flavors with descriptors (like jammy, green, phenolic…) or with an indicative sensory profile, they do not necessarily disclose the associated language. And different flavor houses have different languages which blurs the interpretation of data and does not allow comparability and transparency.
As a result, the F&B makers are unable to compare offerings from different flavor houses and they have to go through lengthy sensory trainings with different suppliers to get their team up to speed. Additionally, only a handful of Food and Beverage makers benefit from this service.
We digitize flavors and taste ingredients only. Food and beverages are out of scope.
We’re independent, we do not sell flavors.
iSense sensory methodologies are simple and well known by the industry.
iSense language and toolkits are available to all.
We’re accurate, quick and affordable as we specialize trained panels and mutualize the cost.
While today different strawberry flavors respond to the same "physical" specification, tomorrow iSense will offer a unique flavor ID for each flavor, merging the usual "physical" specification with a sensory profile.
iSense flavor ID allows comparability, differentiation and search.
Your iSense collection will comprise of flavors that have a unique individual ID. Similarly, our market place will promote flavors that have a unique individual completed ID.
