The Sensory, Behavior and Cognition (SBC) Lab is dedicated to Education, Research, and Public Engagement activities.<\/h4>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The goal of the laboratory is to study and understand the sensory perception of foods and people\u2019s behavior in relation to food, in order to promote healthy and sustainable food choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The laboratory stands out for its strong multidisciplinarity, characterized by a team with expertise ranging from food technology to neuroscience and medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This characteristic allows the laboratory to approach each project with a unique and innovative perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n

The structure hosts the practical exercises provided for in the Sensory Analysis and Consumer Science courses dedicated to all students enrolled in the university\u2019s three-year, master\u2019s and master\u2019s degree courses<\/a>. During the practical activities, students learn the main sensory analysis techniques applied to food and beverages, to compare and evaluate the food quality and their modifications during storage. Furthermore, the Laboratory is frequently used by students for thesis projects that envisage a part related to the study of sensory perception. Furthermore, students frequently participate on a voluntary basis in the various research projects in which the Laboratory staff is engaged.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

The Lab develops research projects both independently and in collaboration with other Italian and international universities and research institutions. The research topics it addresses fall within the University\u2019s interdisciplinary research areas known as \"Quality & Innovation\" and \"Ecology & Sustainability\"<\/a>\u2014and focus mainly on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
