“…The PCA method was also used in research [16] which examines consumers' preferences for organic foods in everyday life. [31] also used the PCA method to examine the influence of sensory quality on the apple preferences of elementary school children. In this study, sensory features of four varieties of fresh apples were performed on children aged 6-10 years in the Middle East region of Italy (Abruzzo).…”

Indonesian people tend to view imported fruit as a more prestigious value compared to local fruit. The case of pandemic covid19 has an impact on the imported fruit market in every country, especially apples that are famous in the Indonesian domestic market, among others, coming from China. People's fear of the transmission of covid19 brings its perception for consumers in consuming fruit originating from China. The purpose of this study is to know consumer preferences towards local Malang apples and imported apples, as well as identify the factors that make up those consumer preferences. The method used is a quantitative method of description using Principle Component Analysis (PCA). The result is that consumer preferences are influenced by the price, favorite, and place of purchase of apples. While the factors that shape consumer preferences in the consumption of local apples obtained formed three factors: performance, appearance and green product and imported apples obtained three factors are performance, packaging and green product that has similarity to the description are only slightly different from the attributes formed in it.

“…Different varieties of the same vegetable have distinct growth characteristics and distinct attributes, for example, size, colour, shape, taste, texture, aroma and nutrient content (12) . These attributes can determine distinct preferences for different varieties of the same vegetable, but this is often not recognised by the child who refuses to try or to eat the vegetable, or by their parents (13) . Supporting this hypothesis, studies that exposed children or adults to colour diversity in a given vegetable or fruit reveal enhanced impact on its acceptance and intake (14,15) .…”

Objective: To determine the impact of an educational program for primary schools that explored the biodiversity of tomato, by promoting science and sensory education with three distinct varieties of it, in the acceptance of vegetables. Design: A randomized controlled study in which children were exposed to the educational program (intervention group) or remained in the class, as usual (control group). The educational program consisted of three sessions where children explained the observed differences between the three varieties of tomato and individual perceptions of their flavors based on sensory-based food education and by planning and implementing experiments to explain those differences. We tested the effects on both children’s willingness to try and their liking for tomato, and for lettuce and cabbage to study the carry-over effect, compared with the control group (Mann-Whitney U test; p < 0.05). Setting: The study took place in public primary schools in Porto, Portugal. Participants: Children in the third grade (8-13-year-old children) (n 136) that were randomly assigned to intervention or control group. Results: Children in the intervention group reported significant increases in their willingness to try and liking for tomato compared to the control group (p < 0.05), but not for lettuce and cabbage (p > 0.05). Conclusions: These results highlight the potential for fostering children’s acceptance of a vegetable by exploring biodiversity through science education. Further work may clarify the effects of exploring biodiversity on the consumption of vegetables and establish whether the results are stable over time and replicable across contexts and populations.
