1201 A Study on the Evaluation Method of Drinking Ease for Aluminum Bottle Cans : Experiment & discussion on carbonated drinks

Abstract

This paper has studied factors that affect consumers' feeling when drinking from aluminum beverage bottle, and given a suggestion to method of evaluating drinking ease. Drinking ease of carbonated beverage from three different kinds of opening diameters (φ28, φ33, φ38 ) has been evaluated by using semantic differential (SD) method of Kansei engineering, and the results are compared with that of green tea reported in the previous paper. As a result, major subjects have evaluated that the opening φ33 is easiest to drink than the other opening diameters no matter what kinds of beverage is. And it is found that the factor that affect consumer' feeling are 'ease of adjustment 'and 'flow volume' when drinking from aluminum beverage bottle.
