Integrating sensory evaluation into biofortification breeding: assessing consumer acceptance and market segmentation of porridge made from biofortified pearl millet cultivars
This study provides the first quantitative evidence of consumer sensory preferences for biofortified <i>Aceda</i>, emphasizing that blending strategies significantly enhance acceptability. Integrating sensory evaluation into early stage breeding, alongside artificial intelligence (AI) and rapid sensory tools, will accelerate the adoption of biofortification and support nutrition-sensitive breeding.
