description Identifying the sensory properties that affect consumer preferences and choices is very important. Different methods, such as external preference mapping, are used to establish relationships between sensory characteristics and consumer preferences. In this work, consumer perceptions based on sensory attributes such as taste, colour, texture and smell of eight honeys were studied to obtain information valuable for increasing the domestic honey market in Argentina. The honeys were sensorially characterized by an eight-member panel of evaluators, while 388 consumers assessed their preference for them. After performing a principal component analysis with the results of the sensory evaluation by trained evaluators, a preference map was carried out. Colour and physical condition were found to be the most notable characteristics for establishing preference; smell and aroma complemented the decision. All honey found consumers who chose them for their consumption, so the strategy to increase honey sales in the Argentinian domestic market should focus on providing information about other uses and benefits offered by this natural product.

Identificar las propiedades sensoriales que afectan las preferencias y elecciones de los consumidores es muy importante. Distintos métodos, como el mapeo de preferencias externo, se utilizan para establecer relaciones entre las características sensoriales y las preferencias de los consumidores. En este trabajo se estudió la percepción de los consumidores basada en atributos sensoriales como el sabor, el color, la textura y el olor de ocho mieles, para obtener información útil e incrementar el mercado interno de miel en Argentina. Un panel de evaluadores integrado por 8 miembros analizaron las mieles, mientras que 388 consumidores valoraron sus preferencias. Luego de realizar un análisis de componentes principales con los resultados de la evaluación sensorial de los evaluadores entrenados, se llevó a cabo un mapa de preferencias. Se encontró que el color y el estado físico fueron las características más notables para establecer la preferencia; el olor y el aroma complementaron la decisión. Todas las mieles encontraron consumidores que las elegían para su consumo, de manera que la estrategia para incrementar las ventas de miel en el mercado interno argentino debería centrarse en proveer información acerca de otros usos y beneficios que ofrece este producto natural.   Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias 2022-06-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/agris/article/view/35250 AgriScientia; Vol. 39 No. 1 (2022); 133-152 AgriScientia; Vol. 39 Núm. 1 (2022); 133-152 1668-298X 10.31047/1668.298x.v39.n1 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/agris/article/view/35250/38053 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/agris/article/view/35250/41128 Derechos de autor 2022 Lucrecia Pozzo, María Cristina Ciappini, Pilar Díaz, Lucía Arias https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0
