Sažetak

Parsley tea hasn’t been commercially available on our market so far. Therefore the aim of this paper was to evaluate sensory acceptability of parsley tea with adolescents, who are specific group of consumers. A verbal hedonic 9-point scale (from 1 – dislike extremely to 9 – like extremely) was used in acceptance test of consumers/adolescents. The research involved 310 secondary school students of both genders, age 14 to 18. Participants were provided with 8 samples of parsley tea which differed in serving temperature, tea concentrations and the addition of lemon juice. All samples were sweetened to the same extent. The results have shown that this group of participants had statistically higher acceptability towards weaker concentrations of tea in comparison to stronger tea. The acceptability of warm tea was somewhat better than of cold ones, and the addition of lemon juice indicate almost no impact on tea acceptability. When gender is taken into account, girls had statistically better acceptability towards all provided samples of tea without lemon juice, whereas boys prefer tea with the addition of lemon juice. In conclusion, current data indicate that adolescent population accepts parsley tea, but only in weaker concentration. In order to get a broader insight in acceptability of this, so far non-commercial product, a new testing should be performed on all others age groups of consumers as well.
