Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
Report with edited sensory date and linkage to consumer needs and acceptance - impact of regulations and standards
(for integration in OSIS).
As this report contains the background materials for Deliverable 5.1 as well as for Deliverable 5.4 the conclusions are kept short.
Generally the analysis showed that on the level of the EU regulation/ governmental regulation of Switzerland for organic production, generally no regulatory impact through the EU regulation on sensory properties for most of the product groups was detectable in the participating countries (CH, DE, FR, IT, NL, PL).
Some requirements, which are regulated in private standards, revealed a clear impact on sensory properties.
The comparison of the sensory analysis with consumer testing with branded and not branded samples showed that there was in some countries and for some product groups sometimes a positive influence of the organic logo/indication on the preference of consumers.
