Abstract
In a former paper we treated the same relation comparing varieties frown in the biological or organic system of growing, now the tests have been performed with samples grown by the integrated system. The scores registered properties as taste, skin, colour, consistency and size. In addition, we also explored the relation between general impression and the individual properties.As first purpose, we started with collecting primary data on 15 samples taken from fruits grown by the integrated method and kept over 60–90 days in a store, then offered to the consumers. The test is based on an organoleptic assessment (records are registered in a questionary). The individual judgements are processed and coefficients of correlation between the traits (taste, skin, size, colour) calculated. The validity of the mathematically proved relations is considered to be decisive in judging the preferencial consumption of fruits.
Highlights
The development of a new commodity requires an adequate presentation of its attributes in order to distinguish its identity based on observations of the product
On the Hungarian apple market, attitudes of consumers has been analysed by Felföldi et al (2008), and earlier data are available in studies of Vanczák et al (2002) and Gonda et al (2007), but their results refer to another period of production
The frequency of apple consumption is influenced by the consciousness of the consumers, which was scored recently (TNS, 2009)
Summary
The development of a new commodity requires an adequate presentation of its attributes in order to distinguish its identity based on observations of the product. Those primary data are raised by inquiry of the potential consumers. The enterprises representing that branch of production are not prepared to perform the tests necessary for an unbiased survey A secondary source of data is still not available, we prefer to raise information by inquiry. Our general endeavour is invariably to increase the fresh consumption of apple on the national level by publishing information related to the attributes, which are influenced by the variety as well as by the growing. On the samples examined the relation (correlation) between the individual parameters and the general impression is calculated
