Sensory analysis

Sensory analysis is a way of investigating how things taste, smell or feel using your senses. Think about when you eat your favorite food or smell your favorite flower, your senses are very important in experiencing these things.

When people do sensory analysis they use their senses (eyes, nose, hands, mouth) to observe and describe things like flavors, textures, smells, or colors. They might taste different foods, smell different perfumes, or touch different materials in order to figure out what makes them unique.

Just like when you learn something new, practice makes perfect! By getting really good at using our senses, people can help create new flavors, products or even improve existing ones.

So, sensory analysis is all about using your senses to describe and understand the things around us in order to make them even better!
