The organoleptic quality of food is a crucial aspect for any company in the food industry. But what exactly are organoleptic qualities and why is it so important to preserve them? In this article, we will find out what they are and how Eurocell, with its innovative packaging, helps to preserve the sensory properties of food products.
What are organoleptic qualities?
The organoleptic qualities of a food product refer to its sensory properties, i.e. everything we perceive through our five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing. These characteristics include the color, aroma, flavor, texture and even the sound of food. In addition, organoleptic properties are closely related to consumer satisfaction: a food product that fully satisfies all the senses is more likely to build customer loyalty and be chosen again.
Why is it important to preserve them?
Maintaining the organoleptic qualities of food throughout the product life cycle, from production to consumption, is critical for several reasons, including:
- Consumer satisfaction: Consumers expect food to look, smell and taste good. If these characteristics are altered, their acceptance will inevitably decrease.
- Food safety: Certain changes in organoleptic qualities, such as color changes or unpleasant odors, can be signs of product contamination or spoilage, all of which compromise product safety.
- Brand value: A company’s ability to offer food products with consistent organoleptic qualities contributes to its positive image and brand value.
Eurocell’s commitment
At Eurocell, we are committed to preserving the organoleptic qualities of products through innovative and high quality packaging solutions. Here are some of the most important elements in keeping food products in optimal condition:
- Choice of materials: Eurocell carefully selects packaging materials, such as polypropylene and NatureFlex™, based on the specific needs of each food product. These provide an effective barrier against harmful external agents such as oxygen and moisture that can alter color, aroma and flavor.
- Packaging Technologies: Eurocell‘s packaging solutions, such as flat-bottom bags and heat-sealed envelope bags, are designed to maintain the freshness and quality of food products over time while preventing the infiltration of air and moisture.
