About
Seo-Jin Chung is a pioneering sensory and consumer scientist whose research explores the intersection of human perception, food technology, and emotional response. Her key research areas include sensory evaluation, consumer behavior toward novel food technologies, and the psychophysics of flavor perception. Chung’s most notable contribution is her groundbreaking 2023 study comparing robot versus human baristas, which analyzed volatile compound profiles and consumer acceptance of brewed coffee. This work, already garnering 10 citations, uniquely integrates gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with consumer sensory testing and emotional response measurement, revealing how automation influences perceived quality and acceptability. Beyond this, Chung has advanced understanding of how technological innovations—from robotic food preparation to novel ingredients—shape consumer attitudes and sensory experiences. Her research is distinguished by its interdisciplinary approach, bridging analytical chemistry, psychology, and food science. Chung’s work holds significant practical implications for the food industry as it navigates increasing automation, and her findings continue to inform both product development and consumer communication strategies.
