7/29 Fundamentals and Practice of Sensory Evaluation of Food Webinar

We will be exhibiting at TECHNO×FRONTIER 2025 - the 40th Power System Exhibition. Please be sure to visit our booth. Our booth: West Hall 4, NO. 4-B25 Organizer: Japan Management Association https://www.jma.or.jp/tf/outline/power.html

■Title "Fundamentals and Key Points of Sensory Evaluation of Food: Procedures and Methods" Sensory evaluation of food is an essential evaluation technique for product development and quality control. This seminar will systematically explain the fundamentals of analytical sensory evaluation, focusing on taste and smell, including how to plan evaluations, select and train panels, evaluation methods such as discrimination tests, scaling methods, and characteristic profiling, as well as statistical analysis. Additionally, the latest insights and case studies useful in practice, such as odor detection, hedonic sensory evaluation, and validation through instrumental analysis and biometrics, will also be introduced. 【Knowledge Gained from the Seminar】 - Basics and implementation procedures of food sensory evaluation - Various methods of analytical sensory evaluation - Methods for selecting, training, and managing panels - How to apply this knowledge to product development and quality control 【Target Audience】 Researchers, developers, quality control, and product planning personnel from food manufacturers, as well as engineers and researchers planning to implement or introduce sensory evaluation.

■Title "Industrial Scale-Up of Separation Processes and Energy Saving in Process Industries - Utilizing Free Software Chemical Process Simulators and Pinch Technology -" In the industrialization of chemical processes, it is essential to balance the design of separation processes such as distillation, extraction, and adsorption with energy saving. This seminar will explain methods for scaling up separation processes, transitioning from bench tests to pilot tests, and will discuss points to consider and case studies of failures in industrialization. Additionally, participants will learn about chemical process simulation using the free software "COCO/ChemSep," as well as heat recovery and energy-saving design through pinch technology, and carbon recycling evaluation. 【Knowledge Gained from the Seminar】 - Industrialization techniques for distillation, extraction, and adsorption processes - Methods for scaling up separation processes - Process simulation using COCO/ChemSep - Energy-saving technologies utilizing pinch analysis 【Target Audience】 Researchers, developers, designers, and production technology personnel in the chemical and process industries, as well as engineers and researchers involved in industrialization and energy saving.

We will hold a webinar on the kintone plugin "Mojitori," which can extract text from photos and PDFs and convert it into data! 【Make Equipment Inspections Easier! On-Site Mojitori Utilization Seminar】 ◆ Seminar Overview The kintone plugin "Mojitori" allows you to convert text from photos, images, and PDF files into data and automatically input it into various fields in kintone. In this seminar, we will guide you through the setup of Mojitori, including a demonstration of capturing and registering equipment label information and inspection sheets on-site. If you need to fill out paper forms on-site and then manually transcribe them after returning to the office, why not reduce the burden of registration tasks that arise every time you visit multiple sites in a day? 【Recommended for】 - Those who record equipment label information for equipment management - Those who want to reduce transcription work for inspection sheets, etc. - Those who want to learn how to set up Mojitori 【Timetable】 - About the Mojitori plugin - How to set up the necessary Mojitori plugin - Operation demo (importing equipment label information and inspection sheets) - Available plans and usage fees - Q&A session We look forward to the participation of many people.

[Speaker] Naotatsu Otani, Senior Consultant, Power and Energy Division, Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc. [Key Lecture Content] The new priority power supply rules, which will be gradually implemented in each area starting at the end of fiscal year 2026, will revise the order of output suppression for renewable energy. Under this structure, FIT sources will be subject to output suppression before FIP sources. This lecture will explain how the rule changes will affect the output suppression rates and sales revenue of FIT/FIP sources, considering the future increase in output suppression and the rise in FIP sources. Additionally, it will organize the revenue fluctuation factors that should be noted after the transition to FIP, including not only the output suppression avoidance effect but also market price linkage risks, sales price decline risks, and profile risks, highlighting the importance of quantitative analysis in business viability assessment and sales condition design. [Lecture Items] 1. Overview of the new priority power supply rules and implementation schedule 2. Changes in output suppression risks for FIT/FIP sources due to rule changes 3. Future outlook on output suppression rates 4. Expected sales opportunity losses during the continuation of FIT 5. Revenue fluctuation factors to consider after the transition to FIP 6.
