The Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI), in partnership with Intertek Philippines, successfully conducted 2-day training on Basic Sensory Evaluation for Food Testing and Product Development in Golden Prince Hotel & Suites on November 28-29, 2022.

Basic Sensory Evaluation Training is imperative, especially for food testing and research and development personnel to upgrade their capability and improve their sensory evaluation.
This training provided participants with the necessary guidance on the methodologies and approaches to conducting sensory evaluations.
Sensory testing is critical for quality control and during the product development phase. For example, sensory analysis can be used for quality control, determining shelf life, gauging the readiness for product launch, assessing product success, flavor profiling, and identifying the attributes driving consumer preferences.
Experts from Intertek Philippines, Ms. Gelyn B. Javelona-Maninang, Assistant Manager for Food Services, and Ms. Chester Lou A. Allones, Manager for QMS and Academy, served as resource speakers. The training used a combination of lecture-discussion and group exercises. The training covered Sensory Evaluation, Characteristics of Food, Requirements, Procedures for Sensory Evaluation, and the Common Types of Test Methods for Sensory Evaluation.
CCCI continues to provide quality training programs to update business owners on current trends and opportunities and to address knowledge and skills gaps in the current and future workforce.
