AB acceptability in the
selected target consumer group was similar to WB acceptability.
Penalty analysis showed that the too intense odour, flavour, and
bitter taste and the too weak sweet taste were associated with
decreased AB's acceptability. The results suggest that these negative properties can be eliminated with WF addition. At 40% AB
the flavour and odour proved to be “not enough”, which suggests
that the optimal blending ratio was between 40% and 100% for the
selected consumer group. It has to be noted that this ratio might
vary depending on the type of the product. Furthermore, AB's
properties that negatively affected the acceptability might be
eliminated with other ingredients (e.g. the lack of sweet taste with
natural non-sugar sweeteners) as well.
