We will present a machine learning method to directionally predict/screen the sensory performance based on analytical measurements of novel product formulations. Our method aims to reduce the burden on costly sensory panel studies and streamline the new product development cycle by using appropriate product characterisation data. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on an industry dataset and show that it can achieve high accuracy and reliability in benchmarking new product formulations from a sensory perception perspective.

Tiffany and Denise will present our microplastics alternative technology called DAINTech.

DAINTech formulations demonstrate enhanced gel product stability and coating properties. We will also introduce the Edinburgh Complex Fluids Partnership which is the organisation that facilitates follow-up conversations and collaborative projects involving DAINTech.
