Abstract
Quality of food is not easy to define since different working definitions can be formulated depending upon who is defining them and the level at which it is measured. One popular definition comes from a USDA Marketing Workshop Report cited by Gould (1977). It reads “the combination of attributes or characteristics of a product that have significance in determining the degree of acceptability of the product to a user”. Introducing the definition of the sensory quality, Galvez and Resurrection (1992) term as: “the acceptance of the perceived characteristics of a product by consumers who are the regular users of the product category or those who comprise the target market”. The way we perceive the characteristics of a food as well as beverage is fundamental not only for its conceptual quality but also for its acceptance. Steenkamp’s (1989) concept of perceived quality attempts to mediate between objective product characteristics and consumer preferences. It stresses that perceived quality may differ from objective quality because individual assessments of quality are personal and situational (Holm & Kildevang, 1996). Since perceived quality is an abstract construct and is of a multi-dimensional nature, the development of mesuration tool is a question of vital importance, for both researchers and practitioners. Astringency is an important sensory characteristic of food and beverages containing polyphenols. This mouthfeel is mainly due to the interactions of polyphenols with salivary proteins, causing complexes formation and their further precipitation, which leads to a reduction of the lubricating properties of saliva. As a consequence, sensations of dryness, hardness, and constriction are felt in the mouth. Wine astringency is generally estimated by tasting, which shows some difficulties in discerning among tastes, is labourious and time-spending and may be restricted to a limited number of samples. A method that is more objective as possible and that takes into account the multiperceptual phenomenon of astringency is the desired goal for many researchers. In addition, the possibility to evaluate the influence of both grape and wine phenolics, as well as factors and enological practices on astringency is a great challenge also for industry to manage wine quality.
