Additionally, subjective knowledge (SK) helps identify differences in consumers' levels of knowledge and their perception of quality. This study aimed to compare the conventional descriptive characterization of VOO across different commercial qualities and sensory profiles with the description obtained through the Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA) methodology, along with acceptability evaluation from 115 frequent consumers of VOO. A hierarchical cluster analysis allowed consumers to be separated into two groups with different levels of SK. Cluster 1 (n = 62), characterized by lower levels of SK, assigned similar acceptability scores to all samples, indicating an inability to differentiate between the commercial qualities of VOO. Participants in this group did not perceive defects in any of the samples evaluated, nor did they demonstrate a preference for a specific sensory profile. These results indicate that frequent consumption of olive oil does not necessarily correlate with knowledge about the product and its quality. Cluster 2 (n = 57), characterized by higher levels of SK, assigned acceptability scores based on the commercial quality of each oil, showing a preference for the extra VOO sample characterized by flavor intensity, odor, pungency, and bitterness. The use of the RATA methodology with this group of consumers enables us to describe both the positive and negative characteristics of olive oil in a manner comparable to DA.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":17223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sensory Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143389351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fresh sausage formulations were prepared from different concentrations of celery and rosemary extracts with curry. The results showed that different concentrations of these natural additives corresponded to different sensory profiles. The attributes that most effectively distinguish sausages are their red color, flavorful seasoning, juiciness, and spiciness. The results from CATA questions indicate a lack of understanding regarding chemicals and additives in food, as well as about clean-label. Clean-label meat sausage appears promising as consumers place a high value on natural additives. The remaining challenge for the meat industry's marketing sector is to establish a connection between natural additives and clean-label products in the minds of consumers.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":17223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sensory Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143389352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to identify how consumers' perception of a food image (AI-generated or a genuine image), influenced their perception and emotional response to the food. Participants (n = 154) were asked to look at ten different images (five were AI-generated and five were genuine (referred to as standard images)) of food items common to those living in Atlantic Canada. The participants were asked to evaluate their willingness to consume, the healthiness, the naturalness, the appeal, and their perception of AI use for each image. The study also assessed their emotional response to the images. The results found the participants were able to identify when an image was created using an AI generator. The participants' perception of AI was negatively correlated to participants' willingness to consume the food product, as well as their perception of the healthiness, naturalness, and appeal of the product. Furthermore, the participants' emotional response was different when evaluating AI generated images compared to standard images. The results highlight the use of AI-generated images in surveys can influence the participants perception, but this topic needs to be further explored in future studies.","PeriodicalId":17223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sensory Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joss.70015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143362705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most methods for collecting emotions in sensory evaluation are list-based questionnaires. Lists, however, might reduce data accuracy and lead to lost information. Therefore, an adaptation of projective mapping for collecting emotional responses, called Emotional Projective Mapping (EmoMap) is being piloted. To validate the EmoMap, online, it was compared to two lexicon techniques (EsSense25/emotion circumplex). Pictures of eight foods were presented to 63 participants who answered how they expected to feel if they could eat the food. EmoMap was effective in discriminating and describing foods based on the emotional profile. Twenty-seven emotion categories were created providing broad descriptive data for a holistic understanding of participants' perceptions. EmoMap can effectively be used to collect product-specific emotional data in a single session. Data collected were used in an integrative analysis to show an overall relation between emotions, attributes, and liking.","PeriodicalId":17223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sensory Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joss.70014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The samples include a control soup (without seaweed) and soup with 1.5% and 3% brown seaweed, as well as 1.5% and 3% red seaweed by weight. Furthermore, before evaluating the soup, they were asked to identify the flavors and textures they associate with seaweed. The brown and red seaweed increased the umami and saltiness intensity of the soup, but it also increased the bitterness and sourness. The red seaweed also decreased the sweetness, overall liking, and liking of the soup's flavor. The participants associated seaweed with fishy, salty, and umami flavors and undesirable textures (slimy, tough, chewy). Seaweed increased the umami and salty taste of soup when evaluated by nonconsumers, but it also introduced other tastes to the soup. This study also identified nonconsumers’ beliefs about seaweed and should help create novel food products using seaweed.","PeriodicalId":17223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sensory Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joss.70012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
