Ensuring excellent, customizable sensory properties
Consumers today expect the food, health and nutrition products they consume to look, taste and smell good – or even better than imagined. Our extensive Global Sensory Program ensures that the ingredients we offer combine nutritional value and health benefits with reliable, consistent sensory properties. The program makes it easier for you to work with our ingredients and to successfully launch your new products.
Our Global Sensory Program
The Rousselot Global Sensory Program offers several key elements you will benefit from as a manufacturer:
- A group of Sensory Experts to help you with your sensory questions and challenges
- A state of the art Sensory Lab, where we test our products and evaluate final applications for specific requests
- A science-based sensory methodology and strict quality protocols for consistent sensory outcomes and sensory fingerprints
- An ongoing global employee training program in sensory sensitivity to ensure what we call our Quality Mindset
Welcome to the Sensory Lab
With our new Sensory Lab, located at the Rousselot Expertise Center in Ghent, Belgium, and sensory testing across all our plants worldwide, we have everything we need to ensure that all Rousselot products come with excellent sensory properties. Our ability to create sensory fingerprints means we can deliver the precise quality and properties you require for your products. The Sensory Lab is also the go-to place for whatever questions or ideas you may have about sensory performance.

Sensory quality and strict protocols #qualitymindset
In order to meet customer demands, we apply a strict approach at three levels:
- Our operational knowledge enables us to design production processes that deliver consistent product quality, compliant with the highest standards in the market. By implementing state of the art techniques, we can create neutral, clean, premium collagen peptides.
- Every Rousselot production site has a quality department with a Basic Sensory Panel, whose job is to evaluate the quality of all our final products. The panelists are trained to perform sensory intensity evaluations based on science.
- Additionally, we have a trained Expert Panel, based at our Expertise Center in Ghent. Their job is to describe and characterize our products and to ensure all products keep meeting customer expectations.
At Rousselot, we are committed to sensory excellence – and to delivering a fast, comprehensive response to any query you may have concerning the sensory performance of food, health and nutrition solutions.
