Rapid Sensory Profiling Techniques

Julien Delarue is Assistant Professor of Sensory & Consumer Science at the University of California Davis. His research focuses on methods to measure consumer sensory perception and preferences and on their effective use in R&D. He seeks to develop high validity consumer-oriented methods. His research explores the role of context in hedonic measures using immersive environments and digital technologies. He also works to develop and validate rapid and flexible descriptive analysis methods with application to new product development and consumer research. Formerly a Professor at AgroParisTech in the food science and technology joint research unit with INRAE and Université Paris-Saclay, he has served as the Chair of the French Society for Sensory Analysis (SFAS) and of the European Sensory Science Society (E3S).
