Overview

ISO 11036:2020 - Sensory analysis - Methodology - Texture profile defines a standardized method to develop a texture profile for food (solids, semi‑solids, liquids) and non‑food products (e.g., cosmetics). The standard describes a structured sensory‑profiling approach that documents the perceptible textural attributes, their intensities and the order in which they occur. It is intended as one accepted approach to sensory texture profile analysis (other methods may also be used).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Components of a texture profile: identification of perceptible attributes (mechanical, geometrical and surface), intensity ratings, and order of occurrence (visual → first touch → first application → manipulation → residual → follow‑up).
  • Classification of attributes:
    • Mechanical attributes: reaction to stress (e.g., hardness, cohesiveness, viscosity, springiness, adhesiveness).
    • Geometrical attributes: particle size/shape/arrangement effects on texture.
    • Surface attributes: sensations tied to moisture and fat (lubrication, release).
  • Methodology essentials:
    • Development of precise terminology and definitions for each attribute.
    • Selection and use of reference products and intensity scales of reference to anchor sensory ratings.
    • Clear evaluation techniques for different product types (manual touch, oral manipulation, rubbing for lotions, etc.).
  • General test requirements:
    • Use of appropriate test rooms and conditions (referenced ISO 8589).
    • Proper sampling, standardized sample preparation, and neutral utensils/containers to avoid bias.
  • Panel processes:
    • Screening and selection criteria for assessors (sensory acuity, behaviour, mouth/skin environment).
    • Structured panel training stages (mechanical attributes → geometrical/surface attributes → scale development).
  • Data handling: recommended collection and analysis procedures to characterise standard profiles and detect changes or differences.

Applications and practical value

ISO 11036:2020 supports practical use cases including:

  • Establishing standard texture profiles for product specifications and quality control.
  • Product improvement and new product development through systematic textural characterization.
  • Comparing competing products to pinpoint nature and intensity of textural differences.
  • Studying effects of process, formulation, temperature, packaging, shelf‑life and storage on texture.
  • Correlating sensory texture data with instrumental and physical measurements to validate methods or instruments.

Who should use this standard

  • Sensory scientists and panel leaders
  • R&D and product development teams in food and cosmetics
  • Quality assurance and quality control laboratories
  • Sensory labs conducting product comparisons or shelf‑life studies
  • Instrumentation teams correlating sensory and physical measurements

Introduction
Sensory profiling methods are formal procedures used for assessing in a reproducible manner the
separate attributes of a sample and then rating their intensities on a suitable scale. The methods can be
used for evaluating odour, flavour, appearance and texture, separately or in combination.
As a consequence of the unique nature of texture, methods have been developed specifically for texture
profiling.

3.1
texture, noun
all the mechanical, geometrical and surface attributes of a product perceptible by means of mechanical,
tactile and, where appropriate, visual and auditory receptors
Note 1 to entry: The “mechanical attributes” are those related to the reaction of the product to stress. They are
divided in five primary characteristics, i.e. hardness, cohesiveness, viscosity, springiness and adhesiveness. The
“geometrical attributes” are those related to the size, shape and arrangement of particles within a product. The
“surface attributes” are those related to the sensations produced by moisture and/or fat content. In the mouth,
they are also related to lubrication and the way in which these constituents are released.
4 Principle
The development of a texture profile by means of a systematic classification that describes all of the
textural attributes (mechanical, geometrical and surface).
5 General test requirements
5.1 General conditions of test
Evaluations shall be carried out in a test room that is in accordance with ISO 8589.
5.2 Equipment and premises
Utensils, containers and other needed materials shall be selected by the sensory analyst or panel leader,
according to the nature of the product, the number of samples, etc. These shall in no way affect the test
results.
If standardized apparatus corresponds to the needs of the test, it shall be used.
Sampling should be done following best practices. A standardized sample preparation that represents
the texture of the whole batch should be selected.
6 Methodology
6.1 Components of a texture profile
The concept of texture profiling is based on the same elements as in flavour profiling. Therefore, a
texture profile may include the following elements, depending on the type of product (food or non-food):
a) perceptible textural attributes, i.e. mechanical, geometrical and other;
b) intensity, i.e. the degree to which the attribute is perceptible;
c) the order of appearance of the attributes, which can be outlined as follows:
1) prior to touch (visual);
2) first touch (which may be with hands or another part of the body);
3) first application (for food, this may be to the lips or tongue; for other products, it may be to skin
surfaces on other parts of the body);
4) manipulation (e.g. chewing for food, rubbing for creams/lotions/textiles);
5) residual (changes occurring during mastication and/or absorption, such as the rate and type of
breakdown);
6) follow up, if any (e.g. swallowing, absorption, wipe off, rinsing).

6.2 Classification of textural attributes
6.2.1 General
Texture is composed of different properties since the sensory evaluation of texture is a dynamic
process.
Textural attributes can be grouped into three main classes (see 6.2.1 to 6.2.3) according to the degree
to which each is present, and the order in which they appear.
Textural attributes are manifested by the reaction of a food or non-food product to a constraint or
product manipulation. They are measured either:
a) by kinaesthesis, which includes the sensations of position, movement and tension of parts of the
body, perceived through nerves and muscles, tendons and joints;
b) by somesthesis, which includes the sensations of pressure (touch) and pain perceived by receptors
located in the skin and lips, including the oral mucosa, tongue and periodontal membrane.
6.2.2 Mechanical attributes
To obtain the maximum benefit from the use of scales in a sensory programme, each attribute shall be
defined. A sensory technique should always accompany the definition of a textural attribute. Examples
of mechanical attributes, definitions, techniques and common alternatives for liquid, semi-solid and
solid food and non-food products are listed in Table 1.

The development of a texture profile by means of a systematic classification that describes all of the
textural attributes (mechanical, geometrical and surface).
5 General test requirements
5.1 General conditions of test
Evaluations shall be carried out in a test room that is in accordance with ISO 8589.
5.2 Equipment and premises
Utensils, containers and other needed materials shall be selected by the sensory analyst or panel leader,
according to the nature of the product, the number of samples, etc. These shall in no way affect the test
results.
If standardized apparatus corresponds to the needs of the test, it shall be used.
Sampling should be done following best practices. A standardized sample preparation that represents
the texture of the whole batch should be selected.
6 Methodology
6.1 Components of a texture profile
The concept of texture profiling is based on the same elements as in flavour profiling. Therefore, a
texture profile may include the following elements, depending on the type of product (food or non-food):
a) perceptible textural attributes, i.e. mechanical, geometrical and other;
b) intensity, i.e. the degree to which the attribute is perceptible;
c) the order of appearance of the attributes, which can be outlined as follows:
1) prior to touch (visual);
2) first touch (which may be with hands or another part of the body);
3) first application (for food, this may be to the lips or tongue; for other products, it may be to skin
surfaces on other parts of the body);
4) manipulation (e.g. chewing for food, rubbing for creams/lotions/textiles);
5) residual (changes occurring during mastication and/or absorption, such as the rate and type of
breakdown);
6) follow up, if any (e.g. swallowing, absorption, wipe off, rinsing).

6.2 Classification of textural attributes
6.2.1 General
Texture is composed of different properties since the sensory evaluation of texture is a dynamic
process.
Textural attributes can be grouped into three main classes (see 6.2.1 to 6.2.3) according to the degree
to which each is present, and the order in which they appear.
Textural attributes are manifested by the reaction of a food or non-food product to a constraint or
product manipulation. They are measured either:
a) by kinaesthesis, which includes the sensations of position, movement and tension of parts of the
body, perceived through nerves and muscles, tendons and joints;
b) by somesthesis, which includes the sensations of pressure (touch) and pain perceived by receptors
located in the skin and lips, including the oral mucosa, tongue and periodontal membrane.
6.2.2 Mechanical attributes
To obtain the maximum benefit from the use of scales in a sensory programme, each attribute shall be
defined. A sensory technique should always accompany the definition of a textural attribute. Examples
of mechanical attributes, definitions, techniques and common alternatives for liquid, semi-solid and
solid food and non-food products are listed in Table 1.

Introduction
Les méthodes d’établissement de profils sensoriels sont des modes opératoires formels utilisés pour
évaluer de façon reproductible chacune des propriétés d’un échantillon puis estimer leurs intensités sur
une échelle appropriée. Les méthodes peuvent être utilisées pour l’évaluation de l’odeur, de la flaveur,
de l’aspect ou de la texture, séparément ou ensemble.
En raison du caractère spécifique de la texture, des méthodes ont été mises au point tout spécialement
pour le profil de la texture.
NORME INTERNATIONALE ISO 11036:2020(F)
Analyse sensorielle — Méthodologie — Profil de la texture
1 Domaine d’application
Le présent document spécifie une méthode d’établissement du profil de la texture des produits
alimentaires (solides, semi-solides, liquides) ou non alimentaires (par exemple, produits cosmétiques).
La présente méthode propose une approche par analyse sensorielle pour établir un profil de la texture;
d’autres méthodes existent. La présente méthode décrit les différentes étapes du processus conduisant
à une description complète des propriétés de texture d’un produit.
Cette méthode peut être utilisée pour:
— sélectionner et entraîner des sujets;
— orienter des sujets grâce au développement de définitions et de techniques d’évaluation des
propriétés de texture;
— caractériser les propriétés de texture d’un produit afin d’établir son profil-type, de manière à
discerner des modifications ultérieures;
— améliorer des produits déjà existants et en développer de nouveaux;
— étudier les différents facteurs qui peuvent affecter les propriétés de texture d’un produit, tels que la
modification du procédé, de la durée, de la température, des ingrédients, des conditions d’emballage
ou de conservation et de stockage;
— comparer un produit avec un autre produit similaire de manière à déterminer la nature et l’intensité
des différences de texture;
— corréler les mesures sensorielles et les mesures instrumentales et/ou physiques.

3.1
texture, subst
ensemble des propriétés mécaniques, géométriques et de surface d’un produit perceptibles par les
mécano-récepteurs, par les récepteurs tactiles et, éventuellement, par les récepteurs visuels et auditifs
Note 1 à l'article: Les propriétés « mécaniques » sont les propriétés liées à la réaction du produit à une contrainte.
Elles sont divisées en cinq caractéristiques primaires: dureté, cohésion, viscosité, élasticité et adhérence. Les
« propriétés géométriques » sont les propriétés liées aux dimensions, à la forme et à l’arrangement des particules
dans un produit. Les « propriétés de surface » sont les propriétés liées aux sensations telles que celles produites
par l’eau et/ou les matières grasses. Dans la cavité buccale, elles sont aussi liées à la lubrification et à la façon
dont ces constituants sont libérés.
4 Principe
Élaborer le profil de la texture par une approche de classification systématique qui décrit l’ensemble
des propriétés de texture (mécaniques, géométriques ou de surface).
5 Exigences générales pour un essai
5.1 Conditions d’essai générales
Les évaluations doivent être effectuées dans un local d’essai conforme à l’ISO 8589.
5.2 Matériel et locaux
Les ustensiles, récipients et autres matériels nécessaires doivent être choisis par l’analyste sensoriel
ou le responsable du jury, selon la nature du produit, le nombre d’échantillons, etc. Ils ne doivent pas
influencer les résultats d’essai.
Si un appareillage standardisé répond aux besoins de l’essai, il doit être utilisé.
Il convient d’effectuer l’échantillonnage conformément aux bonnes pratiques. Il convient de choisir une
préparation des échantillons standardisée et représentative de la texture de l’ensemble du lot.
6 Méthodologie
6.1 Éléments constituant un profil de texture
Le concept de profil de texture est basé sur les mêmes éléments que ceux constituant le profil de flaveur.
Par conséquent, un profil de texture peut comprendre les éléments suivants, selon le type de produit
(alimentaire ou non alimentaire):
a) les propriétés de texture perceptibles, c’est-à- dire les caractéristiques mécaniques, géométriques
et autres;
b) l’intensité, c’est-à-dire le degré auquel la propriété est perceptible;
c) l’ordre d’apparition des propriétés, qui peut être considéré comme étant le suivant:
1) avant le toucher (visuel);
2) premier toucher (avec les mains ou une autre partie du corps);
3) première application (pour les aliments, elle peut être appliquée sur les lèvres ou la langue;
pour les autres produits, elle peut être appliquée sur la peau d’autres parties du corps);
2 © ISO 2020 – Tous droits réservés

4) manipulation (par exemple, mastication d’aliment, étalement de crèmes/lotions, froissement
de textiles);
5) résiduel (modifications se produisant pendant la mastication et/ou l’absorption, comme le taux
et le type de dissociation);
6) final, le cas échéant (par exemple, déglutition, absorption, essuyage, rinçage).
6.2 Classification des propriétés de texture
6.2.1 Généralités
L’évaluation sensorielle de la texture étant un processus dynamique, la texture comporte différentes
propriétés.
Les propriétés de texture peuvent être regroupées en trois classes principales (voir 6.2.1 à 6.2.3) selon
le degré de chacune des propriétés présentes et l’ordre dans lequel elles apparaissent.
Elles se manifestent par la réaction d’un produit alimentaire ou non alimentaire à la contrainte ou à la
manipulation du produit. Elles sont mesurées:
a) soit par kinesthésie, c’est-à-dire par l’ensemble des sensations de position, de mouvement et de
tension de certaines parties du corps, perçues à travers les nerfs et les muscles, les tendons et les
articulations;
b) soit par somesthésie, c’est-à-dire par les sensations de pression (toucher) et de douleur perçues par
les récepteurs localisés dans la peau et les lèvres, y compris la muqueuse buccale, la langue et la
membrane parodontale.
6.2.2 Propriétés mécaniques
Pour tirer profit au maximum de l’utilisation des échelles au cours d’une étude sensorielle, chaque
propriété doit être définie. Il convient qu’une méthode d’analyse sensorielle accompagne toujours
la définition d’une propriété de texture. Des exemples de propriétés mécaniques, de définitions, de
méthodes et d’alternatives courantes sont données dans le Tableau 1 pour des produits alimentaires et
non alimentaires liquides, semi-solides et solides.

6.2.3 Propriétés géométriques
6.2.3.1 Généralités
Les propriétés géométriques sont perçues par des récepteurs tactiles localisés dans la peau. Dans le cas
de produits alimentaires, ils sont principalement localisés dans la langue, la bouche et la gorge. Dans le
cas de produits non alimentaires, ils sont principalement localisés dans la peau (par exemple, la main
ou une autre partie du corps). Ces propriétés sont aussi perceptibles à travers l’aspect des produits,
qu’ils soient alimentaires ou non.
6.2.3.2 Granulosité
La granulosité est une propriété géométrique de texture liée à la perception de la dimension et de la
forme des particules d’un produit.
Les propriétés relatives à la forme et aux dimensions des particules peuvent être illustrées par des
produits de référence, de la même façon que les propriétés mécaniques. Par exemple, des termes tels
que lisse, crayeux, granuleux, grenu, sablonneux et grossier, impliquent une échelle de dimension
croissante des particules.
6.2.3.3 Conformation
La conformation est une propriété géométrique de texture liée à la perception de la forme et de
l’orientation des particules au sein d’un produit. Les propriétés liées à l’orientation des particules
