News Detail

Sensory tastings at the AGRANA Research & Innovation Center (ARIC) are now fully digitalized! Previously, tasting forms were completed manually, but the entire process now runs seamlessly online via tablets or smartphones. Panelists can simply log in via QR code and get started immediately.
This new system enables flexible, location-independent participation while eliminating errors from manual data entry. Anonymized panel IDs ensure data protection, and results can be shared with all participants, providing valuable feedback on their evaluations.
The ARIC sensory panel consists of 35 analytically trained experts specializing in fruit, starch, and sugar. Regular training by external specialists ensures the highest level of sensory expertise.
