Task 1.2 Organic product sensory properties

Summary report on sensory-related socio-economic and sensory science literature about organic food products

This report is aimed at providing a solid basis for such research with an in-depth review of, and two reports on, the relevant scientific literature. The first report (Annex I) regards what consumers expect from organic products in terms of taste, smell, appearance, etc and how these expectations are (or are not) met; the second is about the science of the senses (Annex II).
