Planning matrix. In this study, a planning matrix is presented in
which the preferred product, V2Hu-fresh, is compared to the other
products in the group: V1Be-fresh, V1Be-bloomed and V2Hubloomed.
Mean ranks of the evaluation of the consumers for
appearance, smell, texture and taste were used (Table 5). Thegraphical representation of the results is for a more intuitive
understanding of the values. The results indicate that fat bloom
has the lowest influence on the aroma of the filled chocolates.
Although the decrease is significant, it is not that large. These
results also indicate that neither ingredients nor production
method had an influence on the evaluation of aroma of the filled
chocolates. However, the results indicate that fat bloom had a large
effect on appearance, texture and taste. The evaluation of the
appearance decreased the most, although the means indicate that
the decrease between V1Be-fresh and V1Be-bloomed is smaller
than the decrease between the V2Hu-fresh and V2Hu-bloomed.
