Abstract:
... It is well known in consumer research on ethical and sustainable products that the attitudes of consumers recorded in studies and consumers' actual purchasing behaviour often differ. This gap between expressed attitude and actual behaviour is called the 'attitude-behaviour gap'. In this study, an item set for 'organic food' was developed, which less identify intentions and motivations but rather t ...

Abstract:
... On-field detection of pesticide residue in complex-food matrices is a challenge when it comes to analytical detection involving multistep extraction and purification. In this study, we test the feasibility of an electrochemical portable device for detection of spiked pesticides Glyphosate (Glyp) and Chlorpyrifos (Chlp) in low-fat and high-fat food matrix. The immunoassay based two-plex sensing pla ...

Abstract:
... Food neophobia (FN), or the tendency to avoid novel foods, is associated with poor health. Most correlates of FN come from self-report, making it difficult to identify behavioral correlates that may be treatment targets. To begin to fill this gap, we explore the association between FN and the ability to visually recognize images of prepared food. We created the first two tasks specifically designe ...
traditional foods, etc ; food quality; healthy diet; issues and policy; models; people; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Traditional foods are often perceived to be high in fat and energy-dense and therefore individuals that aim to adopt a healthy diet could be discouraged to consume them. To date, consumer research investigating the interlink of healthy and traditional eating attitudes is lacking. We conducted a cross-country study with a total sample of 5928 consumers from 10 countries worldwide and used the Theor ...

Abstract:
... Phytosterol (PS)/whey protein isolate (WPI) self-assembly complex was formed with different PS:WPI mass ratios (from 1:1 to 1:15) to reveal the relationship of interaction mechanism in PS/WPI complex, WPI secondary structure, and PS digestion properties. The sample with 1:5 mass ratio had the strongest hydrogen bonds and the largest encapsulation efficiency (EE). Circular dichroism analysis indica ...
... Gametogenesis can significantly affect the biochemical composition of oysters, but little research on the difference between sexes. Therefore, we conducted the first in-depth study on the composition differences between males and females of three different Crassostrea sp.. The results showed that females had higher glycogen, lipid, Cu and Zn contents than males, while males had higher protein and ...

Abstract:
... A novel ratiometric fluorescence sensor based on lanthanide-functionalized metal-organic frameworks (Ag⁺/Eu³⁺@UiO-66(COOH)₂, AEUC) with intrinsic dual-emitting bands was fabricated to determine tetracycline (TC) residues by exploiting (UiO-66-(COOH)₂, UC) as reference units, Eu³⁺as recognition units and Ag⁺ as fluorescence enhancer. Benefiting from specific binding sites and functional adsorbent c ...

Abstract:
... Fortified foods are an important source of dietary vitamin D, since this nutrient occurs naturally in relatively low concentrations in a limited number of foods. Hence, we aimed to investigate the accuracy of the declared vitamin D content of Australian fortified foods. Vitamin D₃, 25-hydroxyvitamin D₃ (25(OH)D₃), vitamin D₂ and 25(OH)D₂ were measured in 30 fortified food samples (edible oil sprea ...
