AROXA™ WATER Flavour Standards

Our AROXA™ Water Flavour Standards provide you with the means of training your tasters to make them competent in the evaluation of water taste and odour.

The materials can also be used to prepare Analytical Quality Control (AQC) samples to validate the performance of routine taste and odour assessments.

We sell everything you need to set up and maintain a water quality taste panel. Thousands of professional assessors have been selected, screened, trained and validated using our products.

water taster validation schemes

We offer two Taster Validation Schemes (TVS) to the water industry. By joining one of our schemes you can test the ability of your tasters to recognize individual flavour attributes. Identify your panel’s strengths and weaknesses so you know where to focus your training efforts. Use our scaling validation service to evaluate your tasters’ use of response scales and guide them toward a consensus scale.

TASTE & ODOUR

Our Taste & Odour scheme forms the basis of an independent, blind assessment of panel and panellist competence. Coded samples containing added tastes and odours, sometimes at different concentrations, are presented to assessors who have to identify the flavour note present and discriminate between samples containing different intensities of each flavour.

SAMPLER

Our sampler scheme is there to provide an independent and objective assessment of Sampler performance with respect to good samples (GO) and added flavour samples (STOP); Assessors are asked to identify the taste and odour present in the STOP samples, providing you with a comparison of the results from individual sites and Samplers to industry norms.
