Lemon curd is a traditional English pastry cream originally made with lemon juice. This article deals with the proposal to replace, in its preparation, with another species of fruit that best represents the native foods of Brazil and reveals itself as a relevant alternative for the consumer market. The sensorial analysis was used in the process to aid the development of this new product from the adaptation of a traditional recipe, using the affective test of preferential ordering. This preliminary test was applied using three samples prepared with different proportions of sugar from the original formulation. These samples were coded and submitted to the analysis of 25 adult judges, students of the discipline NUTA174 - Sensorial Analysis, of the Federal University of Bahia, who ordered decreasingly according to their individual preferences. The objective of the test was to determine which proportion of sugar would be the most adequate for a better acceptance of the product by consumers, given the formula to be used in the manufacture of the new version of the lemon curd product, made from limão-cravo. After the submission of the elaborated formulations to the affective ordering test, it was concluded that the sample with intermediate sugar content was liked by most of the judges, showing that it has the most appropriate formulation for the product launch to the consumer market.

Industry of roasted and ground coffee uses Coffea arabicaL. (arabica) and Coffeacane-phora (robusta), main coffee species, to form blends consumed worldwide. In addition to blends composition, industries also vary the roast degree to attend the consumer market. Being that stated, this work aimed to evaluate the influence of roasting degree and blends composition, usingsensorial analysis, over the product acceptability. Arabica and robusta coffee were dehulled, classified, and roasted at Agtrons numbers SCAA#65 (medium-light) e SCAA#45 (moderately dark). Afterward, the authors made a preliminary test to select the blends for conventional consumers as a function of robusta coffee percentage. After the selection and determination of adequate proportion (0, 30, and 60 % m/m) of robusta coffee,the researchers invited 49 consumers to perform the tests. The researchers used preliminary tests to indicate that 29 out of the 49 consumers are capableto complete the tests. They performed the sensorial analysis of the blends, signaling grades from 1 to 9 to flavor, aroma, and appearance. Blend composition presented a higher impact over the coffee acceptability than the roast degree, in which coffee with 0% of robusta coffee, independently of the roast degree, followed by sample with 30% of robusta coffee roasted at medium light, presented the highest grades.

One of the present challenges of food production is to bring on the market innovative products with special nutraceutical properties that can fulfill the customers’ needs. The aim of this paper is to present some original data regarding the sensorial analysis and the customers perceptions on innovative jam obtained from organic rose petals.On 1,350 sqm plot, at the UASVM of Bucharest an organic rose culture was established in 2015 with three climbing varieties: Falstaff, Brother Cadfael and Crown Princess Margareta. From the end of June 2016, the petals were collected and used for jam preparation. Besides sugar, different ingredients as: ginger, lemon juice, sea buckthorn juice and hot pepper were added. Total soluble solids and total dry matter were measured.The final products, seventeen variants of rose jam, were analyzed and tasted. Sensorial analysis was made by consumers of different ages and gender. Jam appearance, general taste, aroma, and the overall impression were noticed. V4 variant - Brother Cadfael with sea buckthorn was the most appreciated variant. For each of these top variants, target group by gender and age was analyzed. The results showed that the customers’ preferences are influenced by age and gender and the organic rose jam is a highly appreciated product.

Objective: This study focuses on the production and evaluation of the physicochemical and sensory qualities of two jams, J1 and J2, produced from Opuntia ficus-indica cladodes. J1 made from cladodes with the addition of lemon juice and J2 made from cladodes with added 1/3 orange pulp and lemon juice. Methods: The moisture content is determined by drying the fresh cladodes in an oven at 103°C. The soluble solids content is determined by measuring the Brix at 20°C using a digital refractometer. Total soluble sugar content was examined using the phenol-sulfuric acid colorimetric method using a spectrophotometer ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectroscopy. Sensory evaluation was carried out by 20 panelists. The individual quality features were evaluated using significance factors: Color, texture, aroma, and taste. For instrumental color analysis, the measurement was carried out with the use of spectrophotometer UV-visible, the results were expressed using the CIE (L*, a*, and b*) system. Results: The physical and chemical analysis results give fairly appreciably results on average for total sugars (55.4 and 58.76%), Brix (65 and 67%), humidity (29.79 and 29.89%), and acidity (0.45 and 0.48 g/100 g). The sensory results give for color (3.73 and 6.42), for taste (4.89 and 5.21), for odor (3.00 and 3.57), and texture (4.21 and 4.21). The physicochemical analyses for cladodes showed a rich content for water 92.74, the total sugar content is 5.53. Conclusion: These elaborate jams meet the accepted international standards for jams. The sensory evaluation revealed that J2 was the most appreciate in terms of color, odor, texture, and taste.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of the salespeople profile (i.e., effort, commitment and creativity) – and its degree of market orientation (MO) – on the success of new product launch and sales outcomes. An emerging economy context is taken as a reference. Design/methodology/approach A structural equations model is proposed. The data are based on a sample of retail sector sales managers in Peru. Findings The results indicate that salespeople effort, creativity and degree of MO influence overall sales performance. Salespeople commitment, however, does not have a significant impact. These antecedents are helpful when attempting to understand both the potential success of a new product and sales outcomes. Originality/value There is no evidence to date of studies that simultaneously assess the impact of seller profiles and degree of MO on new product launch success and sales outcomes. This paper breaks new ground in analyzing this phenomenon in the context of an emerging economy. The findings are of general interest both for sales force management and for companies interested in familiarizing themselves with the peculiarities of emerging economies and the potential need to adapt policies to these specific realities.
