Abstract

PROPOMIEL is the result obtained from the mixture of honey and propolis tincture, which is made for the first time a study on its organoleptic characteristics, with the aim of supporting the necessary regulatory documentation related to the sensorial evaluation of this apicultural nutritional supplement and in this way facilitate its commercialization. The investigation was carried out through a commission of judges belonging to the Apiculture Research Center who evaluated 5 batches of the product. From the evaluations carried out, 30 descriptive terms were obtained, being necessary to simplify the list until leaving the terms that best describe the product. To this end, a selection of descriptive terms was made using the method referred to in ISO-11035: 2008, which is based on the reduction of inadequate terms, followed by the evaluation of the intensity of the attributes, calculation of the geometric mean and variance analysis. Of the generated words, 15 were selected to describe the PROPOMIEL.
