Demonstration Experiment of Taste Preference Matching System

- Using Yame Tea as an Example -

Abstract

In this study, I conducted a demonstration experiment using Yame tea for a taste preference matching system that can provide green tea that matches individual tastes, attempted to experimentally verify the effectiveness. The system was combining the ranking algorithm, the taste quality detection algorithm, and the taste preference matching algorithm. The subjects were able to know favorite Yame tea with the unknown and uneaten from the system by tasting the commercially available green tea and judging whether or not they liked it. Demonstration experiments were performed on 33 subjects, of which 12 subjects had the standard taste quality and taste data when selecting the preference for green tea, and all 12 subjects rated the Yame tea derived from our proposed system as “favorable.” As a result of including additional experiments, it was verified that the system was able to derive the Yame tea that suits subjects taste preference.
