Good taste is the main driver for food and beverage preferences and buying decisions. Döhler customers profit from our great experience with all advanced methods of sensory & consumer science. We apply the findings and methodology holistically and systematically, based on panels of experts in sensory science as well as consumer research.

Sensory science is founded on expert sensory methodology focused through objective perception and measurement. In our sensory tests, more than 100 specially trained Döhler experts verify and record the taste spectrum under optimum conditions.

Consumer Science or consumer research aims to monitor and evaluate consumer behaviour according to sensory perception. At our headquarters in Darmstadt alone, over 2,000 profiled testers are constantly available. International studies are carried out by a network of specialised partner institutes supervised by the DöhlerGroup.

Döhler Sensory & Consumer Science is an independent, professional provider of consumer testing and sensory services for the food and beverage industry. As a member of  BVM (the German Professional Association of  Market and Social Researchers) and ESOMAR (European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research), Döhler SCS bases its work on the latest standards and has its own impressive range of resources. 

This knowledge base, paired with intensive R & D, is the key factor behind the everyday development of successful products for our customers around the world.
