NMKL (Nordisk Metodikkomité for Næringsmidler) is now waiting for a course in sensory evaluation of drinking water at Matís at Skúlagata on 12 February. The course is based on a new and recognized sensory assessment method from the Nordic Committee for Food Analysis (NMKL). The method is one of the first sensory evaluation methods that has been verified between laboratories and gives objective and repeatable results when performed correctly. Until now, sensory evaluation of water has not been harmonized between laboratories.
Participants: Staff of institutions or companies that have a need for simple, quick and objective sensory evaluation of drinking water, such as staff of water utilities, health representatives and more.
Course content: The course covers practical theories of sensory evaluation, a detailed review of the sensory evaluation method and sensory evaluation analysis of drinking water. The course is based on two methods: NMKL method no. 183, 2005: Sensory quality control test of drinking water and NMKL procedure no. 11,2002: Sensory assessment of drinking water.
Place and time: February 12, 2008 Matís, Skúlagata 4, Reykjavik.
The course will be held in ENGLISH by Steffen Solem, Eurofins -Norsk Matanalyse.
