Collecting & using cooking profiles on foods like coffee roasters do
I found this question particularly challenging to provide a complete and concrete answer to your question.  Although through strenuous research I was finally able to locate a text book that describes all sorts of new-age food processes and systems used in measuring such methods such as 'roasting profiles' which is also included in this text book, although most methods appear to be utilized in a scientific setting with expensive equipment.  

The text book is also rather expensive, although looks very interesting, its called: Emerging Technologies for Food Processing the website provided allows you to purchase individual chapters of the book in PDF form. 

The text book is edited by: Da-Wen Sun. who is the Professor of Food and Bio-systems Engineering (Personal Chair),  at the National University of Ireland - Dublin (University College Dublin)
also the Director, Food Refrigeration &amp; Computerised Food Technology (FRCFT), National University of Ireland - Dublin  

I hope this is helpful
