Food Science Sensory Open House
(Academic)
The Food Science Department will be hosting an open house of their new Sensory Lab as part of the Virginia Science Festival. Attendees will get a behind-the-scenes look at how sensory evaluation takes place including new video technology that is being used to evaluate facial expression and emotional responses to food. They will also have the opportunity to participate in a mock sensory panel as well as experience the focus group setting. There will be interactive stations such as the 'Spice Rack Aroma Challenge' where you can test your own sensory skills. Make sure to sign up to become a sensory panelist and participate in future sensory tests held at Virginia Tech. Sensory evaluation of food is an integral part of food science and this open house will allow members of the community to find out more and play an active role in cutting edge food science research.
