However, any change can modify attributes and alter the consumer experience. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":1,\"335551620\":1,\"335559685\":0,\"335559737\":0,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240,\"335559740\":279}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For this reason, a reformulation should not be validated solely from a technological or analytical point of view. It is also necessary to identify what changes at a sensory level and whether that change affects product acceptance. Integrating this assessment during development makes it possible to make better-informed decisions and reduce risk before bringing a new formulation to market.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":1,\"335551620\":1,\"335559685\":0,\"335559737\":0,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240,\"335559740\":279}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Reformulating without losing the product\u2019s sensory identity<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}\"> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">When a product is already on the market, the consumer has a previous reference and expectations about what it should be like.

In all these cases, the challenge is not only to ensure that the new formulation is viable, but also to determine the extent to which the change alters the sensory experience. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">First: identify what has changed<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}\"> <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ainia.com\/ainia-news\/7-pilares-analisis-sensorial-alimentos-respuesta-consumidor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sensory analysis of foods<\/span><\/a> <span data-contrast=\"none\">makes it possible to objectively assess how a formulation changes. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Depending on the objective of the study, discriminative tests can be used to determine whether there are perceptible differences in the new formulation, and descriptive methodologies can be used to identify which attributes have changed and in what direction and intensity.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This information makes it possible to detect, for example, an increase in bitterness, a loss of aroma intensity, changes in texture or modifications in appearance before finalising the formulation.
