Initial dominance of salty taste increases saltiness in heterogeneous food products
2012
In the worldwide context of healthy diet, a reduction of sodium intake is recommended. However, low-salt foods are poorly appreciated by consumers due to flavour drawbacks. Among the various strategies under investigation to compensate for salt reduction at a sensory level, the combination of aroma-taste interactions and tastants heterogeneous distribution is a promising one. This study aimed at examining the effectiveness of such a strategy throughout the full eating experience. To do so, Temporal Dominance of Sensation (TDS) was used to assess the saltiness enhancement in hot model snacks specifically designed to vary in salt and aroma distribution. According to an optimized experimental …
Effect of composition information on the perception of innovative beverages mixing animal and plant ingredients by consumers
2021
We studied the reaction of consumers and non-consumers of plant-based alternatives towards beverages mixing cow milk with soy juice or oat juice. We focused on the liking of these products and on the perceived nutritional and environmental quality. We compared the results obtained by presenting the products with or without composition information, with two types of composition information (plant-based or mixed) and between consumers and non-consumers of plant-based alternatives. We found that the plant-based composition information increased the appreciation of products containing oat. Both composition information had a similar impact on the perceived nutritional quality. The mixed composit…
Evaluating consumers' willingness to buy environmentally friendly wines: A store experiment
2014
poster + communication courte confidentiels; The French program Ecophyto 2018 aims at achieving a 50% reduction in pesticide use by 2018. The vine-growing sector being the second largest user of pesticides in France, there is a strong need for French vine-growers to engage in more environmentally sustainable practices. However, they will do so if they are sure that consumers are ready to buy environmentally friendly wines. Thus, the two main objectives of this study were to identify consumers' willingness to buy environmentally friendly wines and to estimate the impact of an information campaign. 220 wine consumers participated in the study. Each consumer came twice, at a 3-week interval, i…
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…
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…
La corruzione privata e la riforma dell'art. 2635 c.c.
2013
L'articolo esplora il trattamento penale dei fatti di corruzione privata, anche alla luce della recente legge n. 190/2012. Due le tesi principali sostenute: 1) contrariamente a quel che si crede, nel nostro ordinamento esiste già (ed esisteva anche prima del 2012) una incriminazione - sia pur non diretta - dei fatti di corruzione privata; 2) la riforma del 2012 cambia l'offensita' tipica dei reati di cui all'art. 2635 c.c., affiancando alla tutela del patrimonio, una tutela della concorrenza quale interesse dei consumatori. The paper explores the Italian discipline on private bribery, which has recently undergone significant reform through law no. 190/2012.
DISCOVER POTENTIAL SEGMENTS OF WINE SHOPS BASING ON SALES STRATEGIES BY CLUSTER ANALYSIS
2015
The HORECA channel is a very important for promoting high-quality wines. In fact, through this distribution channel, consumers can experience wines before purchasing, taste them also with foods and receive additional information. Market segmentation is very crucial for businesses; therefore specific criteria must be applied for a successful segmentation. In this study wine shop segmentation was carried out by explorative hierarchical Cluster Analysis in order to discover potential segments of wine shops and wine bars based on their sales strategies. Moreover, wine shop(s) role in dissemination of information about quality wines was investigated. A census was carried out in a selected Italia…
The price of climate: French consumer preferences reveal spatial and individual inequalities.
2009
National audience; We use the hedonic price method to study consumer preferences for climate temperature, very hot or cold days, and rainfall) in France, a temperate countrywith varied climates. Data are for (i) individual attributes and prices of houses and workers and (ii) climate attributes interpolated from weather stations. We show that French households value warmer temperatures while very hot days are a nuisance. Such climatic amenities are attributes of consumers’ utility function; nevertheless, global warming assessments by economists, such as the Stern Review Report (2006), ignore these climatic preferences. The social welfare assessment is changed when the direct consumption of c…
