Abstract
Mead is a fermented alcoholic beverage produced by yeast action on a diluted solution of honey. In this study, for the first time, sensory acceptance, purchase intention and color parameters of potentially probiotic mead with Saccharomyces boulardii were evaluated. The mead with S. boulardii presented yeast counts higher than 106 CFU/mL, being considered potentially probiotic, and tended to be yellow in color. About 160 tasters participated in the sensory evaluation, and 69.38% knew mead, but only 35.62% had tried the beverage. In terms of acceptance, the mead were within the acceptable range (above 5), and F2 (with initial soluble solids of 30° Brix and S. boulardii concentration of 0.030 g/L) was the most accepted, with an overall average of 7.63 ± 1.42 on the nine-point hedonic scale. In addition, F2 presented the highest purchase intention. In conclusion, the mead showed a tendency towards the color yellow and good sensory acceptance.

Foods 2023; 12:foods12071401. [PMID: 37048221 PMCID: PMC10093551 DOI: 10.3390/foods12071401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Alcoholic beverages have long been one of the most popular commodities. They have been mass-produced worldwide because of their popularity and demand. On a survey by Statista in 2021, alcohol consumption is projected to increase in the Philippines. Thus, the popularity of numerous alcoholic beverages piqued the curiosity of consumers and researchers alike. This study used conjoint analysis that aims to have a better understanding of consumer preferences for alcohol consumption among youths. Additionally, the study considered the following attributes: (1) type of alcoholic beverage, (2) oral sensation, (3) flavor, (4) origin, (5) color, and (6) price. Results revealed that the product’s price is the most crucial attribute influencing consumer preferences by 26.311%, followed by the type of alcoholic beverage with an importance score of 26.237%. The least considered attribute is the product’s color, having an importance score of 7.790%. These were supported by two statistical tests, the Pearson’s Correlation Test and Kendall’s Tau Test, which both obtained a value higher than 0.8. Managerial implications were presented in the study to help provide strategies and development for alcoholic beverage distribution in the Philippines based on the findings of this study, which relate to young consumers.
