Laboratory of Sensory and Applied Food Science

Laboratory of Sensory and Applied Food Science

Profile

The sensory and applied food science laboratory is one of the laboratories in Faculty of Agricultural Technology Universitas Brawijaya. This laboratory was established independently in 2016, as it was previously part of the Food and Agricultural Product Engineering Laboratory. The development of this laboratory is implemented to fulfil market needs, especially the food industry and the latest food science development trends. Sensory science transforms progressively with a more active role and appreciation from the industry. As food industry is market-oriented and driven by consumer satisfaction, sensory and applied food science are the game changer. The development of this laboratory is expected to be able to improve the competency and academic quality of Food Science and Biotechnology graduates, particularly those related to the competence of sensory and applied food sciences.
