AROXA™ defines excellence in professional tasting
Our extensive range of flavour standards can help you develop your tasters’ skills. Rigorous quality assurance means consistent flavour character and strength every time.
Competent, professional taste panels are an essential tool in the production of high quality foods and beverages. In today’s competitive marketplace, the ability to objectively describe the flavour of products and to check their conformance with pre-defined quality standards is increasingly critical to commercial success.
AROXA™ provides more than 250 flavour standards which can be used to test the aptitude of potential new tasters; develop the skills they need to excel; and assess their day to day performance in routine tasting.
We supply a range of 56 reference beer flavour standards, 27 cider flavours, 30 wine flavours, 25 water flavours, 25 soft drink flavours, and 62 multi-purpose flavours, together with an extensive range of flavour standard kits. These can be used to generate positive notes, off-flavours and taints in your products, with no requirement for laboratory equipment or special expertise.
Our Discovery™ range of flavours provides you with an opportunity to contribute to and shape our product development programme, fast-tracking the most useful flavour standards and tailoring them to the needs of your industry sector.
All of these flavour standards comprise food-grade materials which are safe to smell and taste. They are treated to remove sensory impurities before being nano-encapsulated to give them a long shelf-life. They are presented in unit-dosed gelatine capsules, providing sufficient material to generate precise, tried and tested, concentrations of flavour in each litre of product. Each flavour standard is supplied with an information sheet which gives details concerning the assessment of the flavour note, its flavour threshold, the distribution of threshold values among assessors, the origins of the flavour and its importance to the product.
Our browser-based SensCheck™ software has been used by hundreds of breweries to develop their brewery taste panels and to run routine product tasting in multiple locations, all in real time. It can help you recruit better tasters, train them in record time, develop a deeper insight into their strengths and weaknesses, and reduce the cost of your routine tasting operations by more than 40%.
The concept of utilizing highly pure nano-encapsulated flavours to develop tasters’ skills was first developed by Cara Technology founder Dr Bill Simpson in 1992. For 15 years Cara Technology developed and manufactured these materials and delivered them to breweries via our industry partner, FlavorActiV Limited. Now the complete range of AROXA™ flavour standards and taster validation schemes, together with our SensCheck™ sensory software is available direct from Cara Technology.
