Description

The company's Gastrograph platform surveys each product with a flavor profile engine that anticipates how new foods will perform in different markets, over a long time horizon, and against various demographic archetypes. This helps packaged food companies achieve greater success in a saturated food industry that has an over 80% failure rate. By understanding human sensory perceptions, gathering data, and developing products according to those parameters, Analytical Flavor Systems helps food and beverage businesses fine-tune production to eliminate flaws, visualize flavor profiles, and optimize each brand to capture the right market. Gastrograph AI is the world-leading discovery and inquiry platform for sensory insights that models people and products to predict consumer preferences, specializing in helping companies create new products, optimize existing brands, and enter new markets by building better, more targeted flavor profiles for a specific target consumer demographic.
