Academic Consortium Publications for April 2024

Academic Consortium Publications for April 2024

'Stressed' spelled backwards is 'desserts'. What word comes to mind on hearing 'stressed' and 'desserts'? For many people, the answer is chocolate, of course. This month, we celebrate a publication by Jeong-Hyun Bae, Soo-Hyun Lee, and Jae-Hee Hong who investigated the relationship between chocolate choice motives of stressed consumers. Consumers were split into a control group and a stress group. Both the control and stress groups performed stress assessments before evaluating packaging and chocolates, but before the evaluations the stress group performed the Montreal imaging stress task (MIST), the cold pressor test (CPT), and listened to auditory stimuli designed to induce acute stress. Acute stress was associated with increase preference for and positive emotions associated with chocolate with more sensory appeal, but acute stress did not change the motives for consuming chocolate.

Quality

Quality test methods are used to evaluate a product based on its sensory attributes and overall consumer perception to ensure it meets certain standards of excellence and consistency. These methods provide a consumer-centric assessment of product quality, ensure consistency and adherence to quality standards and drive continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. Examples include, but are not limited to, Shelf Life, Degree of Difference,

Difference from Control, In/Out, etc.
