Expert Review: Conducted by national professional committees and experts in the field of traditional fermentation, using internationally accepted evaluation methods. The process involves concealing brand and manufacturer information to ensure impartiality, with sensory evaluation of product characteristics such as color, aroma, and taste, ensuring the fairness and authority of the review.
Intelligent Consumer Science Review: Carried out through random sampling, utilizing smart technologies such as electroencephalograms (EEG), facial expression analysis, and eye-tracking to comprehensively evaluate products based on real sensory feedback and physiological responses. This ensures that the evaluation results accurately reflect public experience and preferences.
Brand Value Assessment: Key opinion leaders (KOLs) and key opinion consumers (KOCs) from outside the traditional fermentation industry will assess the products. They will evaluate brand value based on criteria such as brand awareness, memorability, innovation, and consumer recognition, ensuring that the evaluation incorporates market perspectives and future development potential.
