SENSORY ANALYSIS
A group of people has been trained at Gum Base Co. to form a "Sensory Analysis Panel" using scientific methods to support our R&D Department. Parameters influencing consumer's perception are identified, standardized and quantified. Each assessor receives a full training and is constantly updated thus being able to detect, recognize and describe the widest range of sensory properties of tested samples.

The combination of extensive know-how and experience in gum base formulation and continuous R&D development allow Gum Base Co. to study and develop new products which best fit the customer needs.
