pistachio nut (pistacia vera l.) is one of the popular and nutritious tree nuts in the world. pistachio spread is a new product which is made from pistachio paste, icing sugar, soy protein isolate (spi), and red palm oil (rpo). this study involved sensory acceptability (by 32 assessors) using hedonic scale and development of suitable terminology for describing pistachio spread using quantitativ...

Subjects rated their liking for (Experiment 1) and their preferences between (Experiment 2) weakly hedonically positive test paintings. Some subjects first saw and rated some hedonically negative context paintings. Those subjects reported greater liking for (Experiment 1) and larger preferences between (Experiment 2) the test paintings than did subjects who saw and rated only the test paintings...

Test development included descriptors' derivation and factor analysis as well as a comparison between the new test (empathic food test, EFT) and a hedonic se...

The main objective of this study is to empirically test a fourth-order hierarchical model of experiential value in an online book and CD setting. In addition, we provide empirical evidence for the role of hedonic and utilitarian value components in creating attitudinal and behavioral loyalty. Finally, we develop an online customer typology, based on the underlying value sources. Based on a samp...

Do opioids and benzodiazepines share overlapping mechanisms of hedonic impact? Or are benzodiazepine and opioid effects on hedonic impact mediated by independent mechanisms? The present study examined whether blockade of opioid receptors prevents benzodia...
