Ideally, when the dose approaches the CRT, a significant difference
regarding the acceptance should also occur. Therefore, testing the
acceptance between a sample submitted to the CRT dose and the control
sample would corroborate the results obtained by Lima Filho et al.
(2014). Considering that, the sessions of acceptance of the control and
irradiated strawberries in the present study were carried out at a dose
of 3.6 kGy. Thus, besides analysing the influence of information on the
sensory acceptance of the irradiated strawberry, the sensory acceptance
of the strawberry irradiated at the CRT dose was also studied. First, the
judges answered a questionnaire to obtain sociodemographic data
(gender, age group and educational level), their frequency of consumption
of strawberries and their knowledge level of the food irradiation
process. Then, each consumer carried out the three acceptance sessions
with one session per day
