One of the goals of producing and developing new products is to provide desirable features to the target community, followed by promoting marketability and gaining more market share in similar products basket. In this study, in order to investigate the effect of sensory characteristics of black plum marmalade on its acceptance, sample data with 180 observations and discriminant analysis method were used. The sensory properties that were evaluated in this product included color, flavor, firmness, adhesiveness and spreadability. Discriminant analysis classified 89% of observations correctly in the acceptance and non-acceptance classes. Accordingly, the characteristics of color, consistency, flavor, hardness and spreadability had a positive and significant effect on the acceptance of the product by the respondents and adhesiveness had a negative and significant effect on the acceptance of the product. Also, based on these results, the largest contribution in discriminating the acceptance and non-acceptance of this product is related to the spreadability, flavor and hardness, respectively. Therefore, in order to attract customers and market effectiveness, it is suggested to pay special attention to these characteristics in the production of black plum marmalade.

Phytochemicals, including phenolic compounds and terpenes, are of interest for the treatment and prevention of conditions with oxidative stress, inflammatory and neurodegenerative pathologies. Certain plant foods have shown beneficial effects for the brain; however, the specific phenolic and terpene species in these foods are unclear. The present study aimed to characterise and quantify the phenolic, anthocyanidin and terpene species in six plant foods (Queen Garnet plum (QGP, ); black pepper (BPF, ); clove (CF, ); elderberry (EF, ); lemon balm (LBF, ); and sage (SF, )) and six plant food-based complementary products (clove (CC), elderberry (EC), lemon balm (LBC), and sage (SC), plus two blends ( and lemon balm-rich, WC and R8)).

Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is a bacterium known for causing spoilage in the taste and odour of fruit juices due to its thermoacidophilic nature. Its spoilage is attributed to the formation of guaiacol, which requires the presence of suitable precursors in the juices that A. acidoterrestris can metabolize.
