Abstract
ABSTRACTThe objectives of the present study were to measure the sensory profile and acceptability of 8 commercial samples of mayonnaise (4 whole fat and 4 low fat) and then to apply preference mapping to address the relationship between the descriptive and acceptability data. A total of 240 consumers were recruited in 3 Argentine cities. In each city 40 young adults and 40 older adults were recruited. Samples differed in their sensory profiles and average acceptabilities. Cluster analysis of consumers showed clear segmentation in appearance, texture, flavor and overall acceptance. Sensory acceptability segmentation was far more pronounced than age or city segmentation. Extended preference mapping showed the sensory descriptors of mayonnaise which drove the acceptability of some of the consumer clusters.
