PL

Celem badań było określenie wpływu znajomości marki na ocenę sensoryczną wybranych soków owocowych. Siedem marek soków zostało wybranych na podstawie badania przeprowadzonego wśród respondentów w wieku 19-25 lat w Gdyni. Wytrenowani ewaluatorzy, studenci Akademii Morskiej w Gdyni, wykonali badania sensoryczne soków pomarańczowych, jabłkowych i z czarnych porzeczek dla każdej z marek, w warunkach znajomości producenta i bez niej. Ocena sensoryczna soku i czynniki sensoryczne zostały określone w skali od 1 do 10. Stwierdzono istotny wpływ znajomości marki na odczucia sensoryczne, pozytywny dla soków najbardziej popularnych i negatywny dla mniej popularnych. Najważniejszymi deskryptorami sensorycznymi były specyficzny smak, przejrzystość i słodki smak. Sformułowano równanie regresji wiążące ocenę soku z ważkością deskryptorów. Otrzymane wyniki mają znaczenie dla marketingu sensorycznego i dla producentów żywności.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of brand awareness on the sensory evaluation of some fruit juices. Seven juice brands were selected in a survey made among respondents aged 19-25 years in Gdynia. The trained evaluators, students of the Gdynia Maritime University, performed sensory tests of orange, apple and blackcurrant juices of each brand, in blind and non-blind conditions. The overall rating and sensory descriptors were determined on the 1-10 scale. The influence of brand awareness on sensory impressions was mostly positive for the most popular and mostly negative for less popular brands. The significant descriptors were specific taste, clarity, and sweet flavour. The regression equations for relations between overall juice rating and sensory descriptors were developed. The obtained results are important for sensory marketing and food producers.

Цель изучения заключалась в определении влияния знания бренда на сенсорную оценку избранных фруктовых соков. Семь брендов соков избрали на основе опроса, проведенного среди респондентов в возрасте 19-25 лет в Гдыне. Подготовленные оценщики, студенты Морской академии в Гдыне, провели сенсорные обследования соков из апельсинов, яблок и черной смородины для каждого из брендов, в условиях знания производителя и без него. Сенсорная оценка сока и сенсорные факторы определили по шкале от 1 до 10. Выявили существенное влияние знания бренда на сенсорные восприятия – положительное для самых популярных соков и отрицательное для менее популяр- ных. Самыми важными сенсорными дескрипторами были: специфический вкус, прозрачность и сладость. Составили уравнение регрессии, увязывающее оценку сока с весомостью дескрипторов. Полученные результаты имеют значение для сенсорного маркетинга и для производителей продуктов питания.
