Abstract
The lack of information is often cause of the insufficiency of attributes being developed and appears on the new commodity characterising its utility. Neither own nor other information is presented. For improving this handicap, we endeavoured to praise apple products grown by biological methods and explain their properties as taste, skin, colour, consistency, and size. In addition, we explore the relation between general impression and the individual properties. The scrutiny starts with collecting of primary data on 9 samples taken from biologically grown apple varieties kept over 60–90 days in a store and offered to the consumers. The test is based on an organoleptic assessment (records are registered in a questionnary). 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 judging the preferences in consumption of fruits.
Highlights
The development of a new commodity requires an adequate presentation of its attributes in order to distinguish its identity regarding its inner as well as outer appearance
Further results on attitudes of consumers are available as Vanczák et al (2002) and Gonda et al (2007), representing earlier periods
The targets set are the following: Apple products grown by biological methods should be evaluated according to their taste, skin, colour, consistency and size
Summary
The development of a new commodity requires an adequate presentation of its attributes in order to distinguish its identity regarding its inner as well as outer appearance. The targets set are the following: Apple products grown by biological methods should be evaluated according to their taste, skin, colour, consistency and size. The main questions, why the apple was desirable and what was the weight of individual properties in winning ones sympathy including outer characters as colour and size of the fruit. The evaluation has been concentrated, as expressed on the questionnaire, on the five characters: taste, skin, colour, consistency and size.
