“…Male and female consumers differ in their sensory assessment of a product. Knowing the character of consumers is important because their characteristics and social influence factors play in their buying decisions [29][28] [27]. In this study, we employed male (42,5%) and female (57,5%) panelists with three age categories, namely young (15 to 25 years old), adult (26 to 51 years old), and old (>51 years old) (Table 4) 5).…”

Salak (Salacca zalacca) is an indigenous plant of Indonesia. It is widely distributed in several areas such as Yogyakarta, Bali, Sumatra, and Maluku. Several varieties of salak have been developed as a part of the government’s plant-breeding program. However, a detailed characterization of the sensory properties has not been reported. This study aimed to evaluate the chemical characteristics and consumer acceptance from six different varieties, namely Pondoh Super, Pondoh Madu, Pondoh Gading, Sari Intan 48, Sari Intan 295, and Sari Intan 541. Chemical characteristic tests included moisture content, fruit acidity (pH), total soluble solids, reducing sugar concentration, and vitamin C. Sensory evaluation on acceptance attributes, such as peel and flesh color, texture, aroma, taste, and overall preference was carried out by 40 untrained panelists. The results revealed that the chemical and sensory characteristics was varied among 6 varieties. Sari Intan 48 had the highest moisture content and pH compared to other varieties. Salak Pondoh Super had the highest levels of reducing sugar and vitamin C. On the other hand, Sari Intan 295 had the highest total soluble solids content. Male, female, and young panelists preferred the taste of Sari Intan 295. There was no significant difference in the parameters of peel color, flesh color, texture, aroma, taste, and overall preference in the adult panelists group. The group of panelists over 51 years old preferred the taste of the Sari Intan 541. The occurrence of a sour taste significantly affected panelists acceptance of salak fruit.

Reducing and recycling expiring food in retail is not only a matter of resource management, but also of creating environmental awareness among consumers. The main task of modern retail trade is to work ahead and maximize the use of goods in the production, without bringing them to the disposal process. Domestic retailers, in their development programs, implement solutions to minimize food waste through discounts, food sharing and other measures. In this article, we focus on the process of processing vegetables and fruit in retail until their expiration dates, as the category of goods leading in terms of the share of waste generation in retail trade. The purpose of the study is to determine the economic efficiency of processing vegetables and fruits in retail depending on the product subcategory and testing hypotheses based on the results obtained. The authors summarized data from foreign studies on the processing of food waste in retail. An analysis of the measures used by federal food retailers in Russia to reduce and recycle products with expiring dates was carried out. The results of an experiment are presented in which the processing of goods in the «fruit and vegetables» category is considered according to data from 55 stores of a regional retail chain for 2019-2022. The structure of processing by product subcategories was studied in terms of turnover and margins. The result of the study made it possible to test hypotheses about the economic efficiency of processing vegetables and fruit in retail, which had not been considered previously in other studies. Measures for processing vegetables and fruit have been tested, aimed at reducing the share of write-offs in the turnover of food retailers. The study made it possible to identify priority subcategories of vegetables and fruit for processing based on economic efficiency.
