  • Coffee Flavor and Flavor Attributes That Drive Consumer Liking for These Novel Products
    beverages Review Coffee Flavor: A Review Denis Richard Seninde and Edgar Chambers IV * Center for Sensory Analysis and Consumer Behavior, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66502, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 1 June 2020; Accepted: 3 July 2020; Published: 8 July 2020 Abstract: Flavor continues to be a driving force for coffee’s continued growth in the beverage market today. Studies have identified the sensory aspects and volatile and non-volatile compounds that characterize the flavor of different coffees. This review discusses aspects that influence coffee drinking and aspects such as environment, processing, and preparation that influence flavor. This summary of research studies employed sensory analysis (either descriptive and discrimination testing and or consumer testing) and chemical analysis to determine the impact aspects on coffee flavor. Keywords: coffee flavor; processing; preparation; emotion; environment; consumer acceptance 1. Introduction The coffee market is currently worth USD 15.1 billion and growing. This market is mainly comprised of roasted, instant, and ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee [1]. The flavor of a roasted coffee brew is influenced by factors such as the geographical location of origin, variety, climatic factors, processing methods, roasting process, and preparation methods [2–10]. The differences in sensory properties can, in turn, affect consumers’ preferences for and emotions or attitudes toward coffee drinking [11]. 1.1. Motivations for Drinking Coffee As indicated by Phan [12], the motivations for drinking coffee can be grouped under 17 constructs: liking, habits, need and hunger, health, convenience, pleasure, traditional eating, natural concerns, sociability, price, visual appeal, weight control, affect regulation, social norms, social image [13], choice and variety seeking [12,14,15].

  • How Business Strategy Is Transforming Rwanda
    How Business Strategy is Transforming Rwanda NEAL DONAHUE "Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. 'It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. -VACLAV HAVEL In July 1994, forces of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) entered Kigali and ended a genocide that took the lives of 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The military actions of the RPF, the creation of the government of national unity, and the assistance of international donors restored hope to Rwanda. Millions of displaced people returned to Rwanda and began the effort to rebuild their lives. Over the past decade, Rwanda has used this hope to build a new society and create the foundation of a stable economy. Rwanda's economy grew steadily during the last decade, and the standard of living is slowly improving. The Government of Rwanda has set the target of achieving middle income status by 2020. To achieve this ambitious goal, Rwanda must have a GDP per capita of US$900/year. Assuming the population continues to grow at recent historic rates, Rwanda will have 16 million citizens in 2020. Taken together, that means that the economy of Rwanda must grow from its US$2 billion in 2000 to almost US$14.5 billion in 2020. What can Rwanda do to sustain a required growth rate of 8 percent per year? A nation's standard of living is determined by its productivity-that is, how well its citizens work together to create value for foreign customers and for one another.
