New E-tongue Test Capability at Medallion Labs

What is E-Tongue Testing and How Can It Benefit Your Food Product?

Traditionally, flavor evaluation in food testing has been subjective. Now, with Medallion Labs' e-tongue technology, flavor characterization is becoming significantly more objective and comprehensive. Our e-tongue testing provides a more thorough and repeatable analysis of a food product's flavor profile than other methods.

E-Tongue Testing: A Leader in Sensory Analysis

The e-tongue test offers a powerful tool for product benchmarking and understanding consumer taste perceptions. Its high repeatability surpasses traditional human taste panels and physical testing methods. This innovative technology converts molecular taste information into visual data, easily analyzed using mathematical optimization techniques.

E-Tongue Testing: Not Medallion Labs' Only Flavor Analysis Tool

While the e-tongue is our newest flavor characterization method, Medallion Labs also offers DH-GC/MS testing to identify specific chemical compounds. The e-tongue test distinguishes itself by categorizing compounds based on human tongue sensory responses and biological membrane permeability. It automatically compares a sample's flavor profile to a control, highlighting differences in taste intensity.

Which Food Products Can Benefit from E-Tongue Testing?

Medallion Labs has successfully used e-tongue testing on a wide range of food products, including beverages, ingredients, solids, and even packaging materials. It's highly likely your product would benefit from this technology. Contact us if you have questions about its applicability to your specific product.

Why Choose E-Tongue Testing for Taste Evaluations?

Accurate taste profiles are crucial for food product formulation, comparison, and marketing. Consumer buying decisions are heavily influenced by taste, making a thorough understanding of your product's profile essential. The e-tongue accurately characterizes taste differences across eight key categories:

• Bitterness
• Bitterness Aftertaste
• Astringency
• Astringency Aftertaste
• Umami
• Richness
• Sourness
• Saltiness

Additional categories are under development to further expand the e-tongue's capabilities. Medallion Labs has spent two years refining these eight categories to ensure a robust and repeatable testing method.

How E-Tongue Testing Works

E-tongue testing is a comparative method, analyzing a sample relative to a control. Specialized taste sensors transmit data to a pattern recognition system, identifying the taste components perceived by the human palate.
