dc.abstract.enThis study aimed to analyse young consumers’ behaviour in Poland toward the consumption of plant-based beverages as milk alternatives. The sensory analysis included oat, buckwheat, cashew, almond, soy, pea, rice, coconut, hazelnut, and macadamia nut beverages and their mixtures. Quantitative analysis of sensory desirability and sensory profiling were employed to evaluate plant-based beverages. The study was conducted among young people (aged 18–35) who declared a vegan or omnivorous diet. It was found that the most frequently consumed beverages included oat and soy beverages, both among vegan and traditional (omnivorous) young groups. A significantly lower frequency of plant-based beverage consumption was confirmed in the group of people with an omnivorous diet. The taste characteristics in plant-based beverages are a key factor in driving sensory desirability among young consumers. Analysis of the influence of respondents’ declared diet and gender revealed no significant differences in the desirability of the taste of the plant-based beverages. The consumers rated the coconut, pea, macadamia, oat, and rice–coconut beverages as the most desirable in terms of taste. The lowest taste desirability was confirmed for the soy drink despite its high reported consumption. The importance of this study focused on the local market development in vegan food, as well as its potential due to further consumer expectations.
