Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9909380A1] A monitor for collecting data on consumer consumption of products dispensable by portions comprises a supporting member (22) capable of supporting a dispensable product (50) thereon, a weight sensor (30) in operative communication with the supporting member (22), and a recorder (40). The tested product has a product weight. The weight sensor (30) measures the product weight as the portions of the tested dispensable product are removed therefrom. The recorder (40) is in communication with the weight sensor (30) for receiving and recording the product weight. The monitor has a current weight baseline capable to be automatically adjusted to compensate for changes in the product weight, not associated with removal of the product portions, such as those caused by environmental conditions. Optionally, the monitor further comprises a consumer input device (60) for receiving data generated by a user regarding usage and acceptability of the tested product. The results of the product weight measurements and the data generated by a user may be uploaded to a computer to create a data file.
