• 14.30-16.00 E3S Children Working Group Workshop
  coordinated by Monica Laureati, University of Milan
  Consumer testing with children: toward a healthier direction
  Food preferences play a central role in the prediction of human food choices, especially in children. Hedonic methods tailored for children are of fundamental importance to understand children’s food behavior and to guide them to a healthier diet. The aim of the mini-workshop is to encourage the exchange of research-based knowledge on the mechanisms influencing children’s sensory perception and food preferences. The topics that will be dealt with concern the application of new approaches in the field of consumer testing with children as well as the presentation of evidence-based strategies to encourage healthy eating habits among children.
  Program:
  • Welcome by Monica Laureati, Coordinator of E3S Children WG
    –   E3S Children group: Aim and principles
    –   Introduction to the workshop and presentation of participants
  • Presentation of recent discoveries and projects
  • Jérémie Lefraire, Institut Paul Bocuse, France
    Food rejection and categorization in young children
    Recently, it has been suggested that the two main forms of food rejection: food neophobia and picky/fussy eating could be the behavioral manifestations of an immature food categorization system. The general aim of this presentation will be twofold: i) to present the rationale behind this relationship between food rejection and the early development of food categories and ii) to present the first empirical results supporting this idea.
  • Gertrude Zeinstra, Wageningen UR Food & Biobased Research, The Netherlands
    Strategies to encourage vegetable intake in children
    Children’s vegetable intake is below the recommendations and research has shown that it is a real challenge to increase their intake. New and easy-to-apply approaches are needed. In one project, we investigated whether using an individualized approach to increase the vegetable content of a favorite child-dish could be helpful in increasing vegetable intake among 10-12-year olds. In another project, we investigated the effect and feasibility of a repeated exposure intervention with unfamiliar vegetables at Dutch day care centers.
  • Frida Vennerød, Nofima, Norway
    The relationship between taste sensitivity and preferences in preschoolers.
    What is the relationship between sensitivity for the basic tastes, and preferences for different intensities of basic tastes? Results from the first two years of a longitudinal study with preschoolers will be presented. We will address the development of taste sensitivity and taste preferences from age four to age five, and discuss how these two are related to each other.
  • Hannah Jilani, Leibniz-Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology – BIPS, Germany
    Children’s sweet and fat sensitivity and preference: familial aggregation, health outcomes and food choice
    To what extend are children’s sweet and fat sensitivity and preference similar to sensitivity and preference of their parents? And how are these characteristics related to overweight and sweet as well as fatty food choice in 11 to 15 year old children/adolescents? We investigated sweet and fat sensitivity and preference in children/adolescents from 8 European countries and related the results to different potential correlates (e.g. country, sex and age) and outcomes (e.g. overweight and food choice).
  •  Discussion during and after presentations
• 16.30-17.00 E3S PDO Working Group Workshop
  Introduction – Aim and activity of the WG PDO –  Carolina Chaya
  Results of the survey of sensory analysis for official control in Italy, Spain and France – Margaret Everitt

The first speaker, Hal MacFie with ‘special guest star’, Thierry Worch, presented Three Game Changers for Sensory: Tweet, Nap and Slow vs. Fast Thinking. Hal opened up the presentation discussing napping, which has also been called ‘DIY Principal Components Analysis’. He described it as a technique used when researchers say ‘I must do something innovative this year’, then it is used that one time and never again. However, it is becoming more popular and literature on the topic is growing. He described how napping is used, citing examples and the positives and negatives. There is ‘lots to commend’ about napping and Hal recommended it, saying ‘it’s worth a second look’.

Thierry Worch then discussed using twitter as a method to find data on products, describing it as a ‘new gold mine’ for companies. Because users (all 500+ million of them) can say whatever they want on Twitter, there’s no reason for them to lie, making it a trustworthy source of information. However, that’s a lot of information to process – around 340 million tweets/day – and companies must search through information, retrieve it, analyse it and make the procedure automatic. This is where the twitteR package of the free statistic software ‘R’ comes in. Thierry took us through two examples, one food related to see how this package works. Twitter data provides ‘real consumers’ in ‘real situations’ but requires a great deal of information processing to get good results.

In the final part of this presentation, Hal looked at Kahneman and Tversky system 1 and 2 thinking- system 1 being our quick, intuitive thinking and system 2 being slower, more rational or “lazy”. He described the effect that these thought processes can have on product testing. He closed with the remarks ‘If you’re still doing blind studies without measuring expectation, you’re stumbling in the dark’.

Erminio Monteleone, founder and former Chair of E3S, was up next with What’s New in Sensory Food Research in Europe? Using the data from the past paper submissions to Eurosense, Erminio skimmed the abstracts and identified the primary keywords from three categories of papers: sensory and consumer, sensory, and consumer. He also looked at trends over the last twenty years of sensory science in Europe.

In the final morning session, we heard six five-minute oral poster presentations – lots of information in very little time! The speakers represented just six of the eighteen posters held in the poster session. During lunch, delegates had the opportunity to look at the posters and vote on their favourite. Perrine Delime, Nottingham University, won with her poster (and presentation) Using Discrimination Tests to identify key components of flavour perception.

Aside from the poster session, delegates also took the long lunch hour to network and have a look around the exhibition stands. There were lots of interesting things going on!

After lunch, there were two workshops. The first, Panel Performance and Fast! was run by PFSG members, Carol Raithatha and Lauren Rogers, and Anne Hasted, QI Statistics. Delegates gathered around computer screens as the speakers took them through various statistical software packages they could use for speeding up panel performance.

In workshop two, Concept to Consumer: Fast Direction on Product Sensory Optimisation, Antoine Goupil de Bouillé and Thierry Worch, each demonstrated two methodologies. Antoine talked about the Kano Model of Customer (Consumer) Satisfaction, which classifies product attributes based on how they are perceived by customers and their effect on consumer satisfaction. Thierry spoke about the Ideal Profiling Method (IPM), which combines perceived and ideal intensities and consumer liking. The audience were able to demonstrate these two methodologies, first coming up with our own skin care product and using Kano modelling and then testing IPM using two skin cream samples.

Delegates then all returned to the main conference hall for the final keynote address by David Penn of Conquest. In I Second that Emotion, David provided information on the role and importance of emotion in building brands – we had emotions and communicated before we had language. He spoke about the use of neuromarketing to find out consumer preferences, highlighting the different techniques as well as the advantages and disadvantages to using them. Although we can observe a brain response, we’ll never truly know how it feels.
