They act as a network of scientists that provides answers to questions or problems the African continent faces in all areas of sensory science and consumer research. ANSWER aims to build capacity in sensory science in Africa by providing information on how to conduct robust sensory and consumer tests and also provide support for upcoming researchers. It liaises with the global community of researches for financial and technical support and explores the applications of sensory science in both the food industry and the non-food industry.
