  5. Sensory evaluation: use a variety of panels and testing methods to assess your product
  6. Ingredient performance evaluation: if you're an ingredient supplier, we'll act as third-party evaluators
  7. Redevelopment: let us help you redevelop your product for shelf-life extensions, stability, cost-reduction strategies or line extensions
