Abstract

Several factors determine the quality of drinking water, including sensory attributes. This study aimed to investigate the sensorial profiles of eight bottled drinking waters representing mineral, demineralized, oxygenated, and alkaline waters in the Indonesian market. In addition, the correlation between sensorial attributes and liking of bottled drinking water was also explored. The flash profiling method was employed involving 44 semi-trained panelists (mean age 19.8 ± 0.84, 32% men and 68% women) to characterize the sensory profiles of the bottled drinking water. In addition, the liking score was also asked using a 10-cm line scale. There were significant differences for astringency (p=0.012), bubbles (p<0.001), and fruity tastes (p=0.014) across the bottled-drinking water samples, indicating that oxygenated water has a higher intensity for these attributes. The mineral water was preferred as compared to the demineralized, oxygenated, and alkali water based on the PCA analysis. The sensorial attributes of cooling, sweet taste, and smoothness were positively correlated with consumer acceptability of bottled-drinking water while attributes of plastic taste, bitter, sour, salty, mineral taste, astringent, earthy, thickness, fruity, and bubbles were negatively correlated with liking. This is the first study investigating the sensory profiles and the driver of liking of commercial bottled-drinking water in the Indonesian market and the results can be used for the improvement and development of bottled-drinking water that will deliver the desirable profiles for consumers.
