ISHS Acta Horticulturae 259: Workshop on Measuring Consumer Perception of Internal Product Quality

TOMATO TASTING TEST

Author:   E. Eytan
Abstract:
This paper reports on a study conducted in Germany in 1988 to test the quality of tomatoes. Three varieties of tomatoes were taste-tested by 170 consumers to determine pair comparisons, ranking order, and a profile analysis. Among the results, consumers indicated that the most important factors in evaluating tomatoes were a non-floury texture, juiciness, interesting taste and inner appearance.
