Chlorine flavor perception and neutralization in drinking water
2010
For water suppliers, using chlorine is necessary to ensure water bacteriological quality from the treatment plant to the consumers’ tap. However, chlorine flavour is one of the most common reasons advocated for choosing tap water alternatives as drinking water. As a consequence, the putative link between chlorine flavour perception and tap water consumption is an issue in drinking water habits studies. Since the sensory mechanisms involved in chlorine flavour perception remained largely unknown, the main objective of this thesis work was to first highlight those mechanisms and then to identify potential lever chlorine flavour sensory neutralisation.In a first step, we demonstrated that hypo…
Moringa oleifera supplemented foods in South Africa : A multidisciplinary approach combining consumer studies with physico-chemical and nutritional a…
2021
Malnutrition is a major challenge in South Africa (SA), particularly in Eastern Cape and Limpopo provinces, which are predominantly black and historically disadvantaged. This thesis aims to assess the potential of Moringa oleifera (MO) as a source of nutritional improvement in the diets of mothers and their children in these provinces. Known for its nutritional benefits, MO is a plant native to India, now cultivated in SA but not widely used for human nutrition. A two-part approach was followed in this thesis. The first part aims to understand how MO is perceived by consumers and how it can be integrated into the South African food repertory. A study of the knowledge, beliefs and consumptio…
Francouzský zákonodárný systém o ochraně spotřebitele
2001
International audience; J.-P. Pizzio si v tomto článku pokládá otázku, zda je pro kandidátské státy francouzské právo správným modelem k následování, pokud jde o přístup k jednotnému evropskému trhu. Francouzský zákonodárný systém o ochraně spotřebitele, který je založen na speciálním právu, a to na spotřebitelském právu, je totiž považován za jeden z nejpropracovanějších ochranných systémů na světě. Odpovědí na tuto otázku je nejprve představení spotřebitelského zákoníku, dále pak vysvětlení vztahů, které existují mezi spotřebitelským zákoníkem a jinými právními disciplínami. Na závěr autor vyzývá Evropskou komisi k přijetí nových opatření ve věcech spotřebitelského úvěru, která mají posíl…
Reinforcing willingness to buy and to pay due to consumer affinity towards a foreign country
2014
International audience; In a tense economic environment where consumers are encouraged to favor local rather than imported products, multinational companies (MNEs) need leverage to enhance their offer regarding local products. This research suggests a consideration of consumer affinity towards a foreign country as a means to reinforce both willingness to buy (WTB) and willingness to pay (WTP). An experiment was conducted with 170 French consumers (non-students). Respondents were asked about their WTB and their WTP for products for which the country of origin varied in a within-subject design based on 1) the level of the respondent's sense of affinity towards the product’s country of origin …
Spatial fuzzy consumer's behavior : a multidimensional analysis
1983
This paper is devoted to a multidimensional analysis of the consumer'sbehavior when the decisionmaker is acting in a fuzzy space and pointingout an imprecise attitude. At first, the process of decisionmaking is described with the help of three relationships between the set of goods which are supplied in several points, the set of their characteristics and the set of consumer's a priori possible behaviors. All these relations are fuzzy. The model applies the theory of fuzzy relations equations. Then, the stages of the decision process are analyzed. Often fuzzy comportemental relations are like "black boxes". The mathematical solution of the model indicates in which conditions their valuation…

Azione di classe a tutela dei consumatori e comportamenti anticoncorrenziali: criticità (e velleità) di un tentativo di trade-off
2018
The essay concerns the italian disciplin on the opt-in class actions, as ruled by article 140 bis of consumer code, with special reference its recourse for damages actions downstream an anticompetitive behaviour. The Author examines the main cornerstones of the collective redress mechanism, also in comparison with other foreign experiences, such as the US federal one , by focusing on its pros and cons of the domestic regime, mainly the bottleneck for the access to the remedy (the requirements for assessing whether the "class" exists or not) and the likely outcome of a equitative quantification of individual damages to be awarded. The latter, in particilular, is addressed as an embedded dete…
