Our focus on alcoholic
beverage flavors. We consider the source and desirability of
the flavor note, typical sensory descriptors, typical levels
in the beverage (wine, beer or spirit) and threshold
detection values, how to control the level of the flavor
note in the beverage and more.

Kits on the market: For brewers and distillers* there
are two sources of kits for sensory training. One is from
FlavorActiV and the other is a new kit from Sigma-Aldrich's
Flavors and Fragrances Division. FlavorActiV kits come as
powdered encapsulated chemicals with instructions on dosing.
The Sigma-Aldrich kit comes as 24 liquid stocks but,
unfortunately, comes with no instructions as to how best to
use them. However, we can help you here. Call for details in
using liquid sensory stocks in your own sensory training
programs. [*We shall review kits for wine sensory testing at
a later time.]
