Organic (HAY) versusconventional (MFQ) tomatoes onconsumer preferenceSensory analysis results for peppersAfter analysing the total average scores for conventional versus organic peppers(see Tables 1.5 and 1.6), there can be observed that the two samples were similarlyscored, with rather close total average scores (18,55 for conventional peppers and17,70 for organic peppers). The total quality for peppers under analysis is possibleto consider good, having scored a 18 points of 20.270Table 1.5 Total average score for conventional peppers (DRA)n oOr ganolep ticcharacteristicsP m f p=f i *f t f i f t P m p1Ou tsideappearance4,563 0,8 0,20 4 3,65042 Con sisten c y 4,750 0,8 0,20 4 3,80003 Colou r 4,813 0,8 0,20 4 3,85044 Tast e 4,188 0,8 0,20 4 3,35045 Sm ell 4,875 0,8 0,20 4 3,9000Total a v era g e sc or e 18,5512The samples received the same score for outside appearance, thus there isno significant difference on this characteristic (see Figure 1.5).
