The S.N.I.F.F. 2.0 Flavour Descriptor Dashboard is an interactive reference tool for flavourists, trainees, sensory professionals and food or beverage product developers. It brings a large flavour-language database into one searchable environment, helping users move from a general sensory impression—such as ripe, juicy, green, creamy, roasted or metallic—to more precise terminology, related descriptor families and practical flavour-development context. It is designed as a working flavourist resource rather than a static glossary.

Users can browse the complete A–Z lexicon, search more than 1,000 descriptors, explore relationships through an animated 3D descriptor cloud, and review the dedicated Taste & Oral Sensations map. The dashboard separates the five established basic tastes from researched taste candidates, taste-modulation effects, chemesthetic sensations and mouthfeel attributes. Descriptor records also connect to related terminology and candidate aroma-material records, supporting ingredient research, sensory vocabulary development, flavour modification, panel training and technical discussion. These areas align with the flavour-creation, taste-modulation, sensate and raw-material knowledge expected within professional flavourist development.

The dashboard is intended to improve sensory thinking and communication at the bench. It can help a user define a target profile, distinguish commonly confused terms, identify missing dimensions in a flavour description and build a more consistent vocabulary for product-development or sensory work. It does not replace tasting, application testing, trained-panel validation, supplier documentation or qualified regulatory review; aroma-material matches should be treated as research leads rather than automatic substitutions, use recommendations or compliance determinations.
