Summary A pilot consumer survey showed apple rings prepared from Suntan apples to be liked, particularly with respect to appearance and taste. People, on the whole, preferred a whiter product; texture was acceptable, although respondents would have preferred it to be firmer. Age appeared to be the major demographic factor influencing response, the colour of the product being more favourable to the 45 and over age group, with the 16–24 age group preferring a less sweet product.
