sensory

In anatomy and physiology, the term "sensory" (also known as "sensory" or "sensual") is a generic term for various sensory modalities. It refers to the reception and processing of sensations by the sensory organs. In a sensory test, the olfactory, gustatory and visual properties of an object are analysed. This is carried out by a person who is able to make such assessments based on their scientific and technological knowledge and regular practice. Sensory stimuli are perceived in the sensory organs, the areas of the cerebral cortex in which the stimuli received by the receptors are processed.

organoleptic & sensory

The terms "organoleptic" and "sensory" are often used interchangeably, but "sensory" is more comprehensive. While "organoleptic" refers specifically to the perception of taste, smell and colour characteristics, sensory encompasses the analysis and evaluation of all sensory impressions. This also includes psychophysical aspects, such as the relationship between stimulus and perception as well as their intensity and frequency.
