“…However, the size and the 3D shape of the plant could be seen also as compactness determinants. This suggests the need of a better understanding and definition of this multidimensional characteristic frequently misused in the ornamental sector, but also, both facts stress again the delicacy of free description analyzes and sensory attribute list elaboration (Boumaza et al, 2009;Symoneaux et al, 2012).…”

Aesthetics is one of the major parameters for consumers when buying a rose bush. Therefore, managing this quality is important for agronomists. Tools are needed to assess visual characteristics and to find links with architectural plant parameters. Sensory analyses were developed using real plants and photographs as stimuli. With technology and modeling improvements, using virtual plants could presents numerous advantages. This study demonstrated the feasibility of using rotating virtual rose bush videos as stimuli for a labeled sorting task. The virtual rose bush reflected a natural within-crop variability of one cultivar based on bud breaks location and axes length. Two panels of subjects closely linked to the horticulture sector sorted and described 40 rotating virtual rose bush videos. Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) results for both panels were similar and allowed us to highlight five groups of virtual rose bushes with their specific sensory characteristics and their own most representative products using a combination of the paragons and the most typical products. This approach revealed that subjects detected high visual differences between products, and that by using rotation, they were able to integrate 3D properties about variations around plant facets. Finally, a labeled sorting task is a powerful method for preliminary exploration of the visual aspect of virtual plants.

“…The most important quality characteristics for apples in different consumer studies have been sweetness, juiciness and crunchiness (Leumann et al 2004, Jesionkowska et al 2006, Ikase and Seglina 2008, Konopacka et al 2010, Symoneaux et al 2012). …”

“…Studies on apple preferences among European consumers have mostly been carried out in Western parts of Europe like Great Britain and Denmark (Jaeger et al 1998), Switzerland (Leumann et al 2004, Péneau et al 2006 and France (Symoneaux et al 2012). Few studies have been conducted in Eastern European countries like Poland (Jesionkowska et al 2006) and in Northern Europe in Finland (Seppä et al 2013).…”

Apple preferences of Estonian consumers (n=336 in 2007 and 332 in 2012) were determined regarding apple origin, production method and different quality attributes. The aim was to find out whether apple preferences of young people raised in a capitalistic system differ from older people raised in the Soviet Union and also to determine if and how these preferences have changed over five years. The majority of the respondents preferred domestic apples (91% and 81% in 2007 and 2012, respectively), the main motivation being food safety: domestic apples were believed to contain fewer chemical residues. Apple taste was the most important quality attribute, followed by appearance which was rated equally important as health benefits and finally, price. Young people (<25 years) were significantly more indifferent towards apple origin compared to others. However, the preference for apple taste and colour was similar in all age groups. Over the five year period surveyed, the preference for domestic and organic apples had decreased, but taste and colour preference had remained unchanged.

“…Multinomial logistic regression is an adjusted statistic in a situation where the dependent variable is related to quality, while independent variable are either categorical or a mixture of all of them (González et al, 2011). Multivariate techniques of analysis are widely used in sensorial and arbiter data in order to point out features of the product and arbiters most closely related to acceptance (Symoneaux et al, 2012). Table 5 shows the statistical significance for each independent variable in the acceptance of fish nugget.…”

The objective of this paper is to develop a fish-based product. Through the innovative sensorial check all that apply (CATA) technique, employed in two stages of the development of the product -market research and the sensorial and hedonistic characterization of the final product -the aim was to develop a fish by-product that could respond to the needs of the consumer market. Results showed that the CATA technique is an important instrument for researching the consumer market and indicated the kind of fish by-product to be developed and its desired features. Nugget was the resulting by-product. The second application of CATA made possible the sensorial description of the by-product as being crisp, with little fish odor, light in color, well-seasoned and tasty. Therefore, the CATA technique proved to be an important research instrument in the fish consumption market as well as a quick technique for the complete description of fish nuggets.
