HIGHLIGHTING THE INFLUENCE OF PEA SPROUTS (Pisum sativum L.) ADDED TO MANGO (Mangifera indica L.) OR KIWI (Actinidia deliciosa) SORBET ON THE FINAL CONSUMER'S PURCHASING PREFERENCES.

This paper contains theoretical and practical information that has allowed the experimental setup of an effective working protocol for obtaining food sprouts in peas (Pisum sativum L.), as well as obtaining mango (Mangifera indica L.) or kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa) sorbet. In order to create a new product, mango or kiwi sorbet were combined with pea sprouts. The experimental results obtained after performing a sensory analysis of the final products, as well as an online questionnaire filled by the panelists are presented in the paper based on charts, which are demonstrating the influence of pea sprouts on consumers preferences and its purchasing behaviour.
