It includes all sensory properties of ingredients and product: taste, smell, and consistency. It is a complex challenge. The ability to taste qualified and sound is a complex sensing and cognitive competence. It includes the ability to focus of one sensory property, quantify, and verbalise the sensory experience. All competences that can and should be trained. It is a personal workshop competence and not an applied academic theory.
