Evolution in the use of Flash Profile

Thanks to its emphasis on rapidity, FP has been an early success. Some sensory scientists have first seen it as a quicker and cheaper alternative to conventional profiling 

Below are listed the cases where FP would be most useful (Delarue et al., 2004)  

Examples of such situations are presented in this section with emphasis on three major directions FP with design of experiment (DoE) in early stages of a research project, EP with professionals and EP with consumers. 

Rapid Sensory Profiling Techniques and Related Methods 

Yogurts are living and short shelf life products and they cannot be preserved stably over the time that would be necessary for training a panel. Therefore, unless pilot products are made ad hoc, conducting a conventional profile is impossible and alternatives must be sought should one stiU wish to gain sensory insights.
