Infant formula is used as a substitute for breast milk for infants. In certain special circumstances, it is the sole food source for infants. Its safety, nutritional value, and sensory quality are particularly important. The flavour of infant formula has a decisive influence on consumer preferences and purchasing decisions. The development of taste in early infancy is closely related to the degree of exposure to food during this period. The development of an infant's sense of taste is closely related to the extent of food exposure, and it may have long-term effects on a child's food acceptance during childhood and their dietary behaviour in adulthood. This study comprehensively reviewed the influencing factors of the sensory quality of infant formula from aspects such as key components, processing techniques and storage conditions. In addition, it explored the application of intelligent sensory analysis technologies, such as facial expression analysis and electroencephalography in the research on infants' preference for infant formula, aiming to provide more intelligent methods and ideas for the study of infants'preference, and to provide technical support and strategic references for improving the sensory quality of infant formula.
