Introduction. Currently, the food market is replenished with new types of specialized food products intended for nutrition of certain population categories. Gerodietetic products are important in forming the diet for senior citizens. Therefore, gerodietetic foods are a factor of healthy lifestyle and active longevity. Functional food products should be based on age-related issues and consumer preferences. Aging weakens assimilative processes in organs and tissues, slows down the rate of redox reactions, and restructures the system of metabolism and body functions. Thus, people of advanced and gerontic age need to consume appropriate amount of vitamins and minerals, as their deficiency plays a decisive role in the development of age-related diseases. As a result, scientific justification and development of functional food products for this category is extremely important. The research objective was to study consumer preferences in relation to gerodietetic food products by collecting, processing, and analyzing marketing data. Study objects and methods. The research featured statistical data, as well as information obtained from consumers aged 60–77, residents of the Kemerovo region. The study involved methods of analysis, systematization of statistical and scientific information, comparison and generalization, as well as a marketing survey method. Results and discussion. The research started with an analysis of the structure and dynamics of the age-sex composition of the population in 2017–2019. The number of the elderly increased by 5% compared to 2017. The analysis also showed a stable quantitative prevalence of female population, i.e. 64.9% in 2017 and 64.8% in 2019. The daily diet of most survey participants included cereals, dairy products, and vegetables. The survey helped to identify the purchase factors. Price proved to be the main factor when choosing dairy products (72%). Most respondents (47%) consume dairy products daily. Conclusion. The marketing research defined the purchase factors for people of advanced and gerontic age in choosing food products. The obtained data can help to improve the gerodietetic products on the consumer market of Kemerovo.

The gist of this article boils down to improving the efficiency of the bank’s marketing policy in a pandemic. The growing needs of buyers, the growth of non-price competition and the supply of goods and services on the market indicate the relevance of the problem of forming a marketing policy. Factors such as imperfection of market relations, inflation, low population growth rate, high level of income differentiation of the population are characteristic of the Russian market. The article stresses that it is necessary to conduct a marketing policy competently in order to ensure the return on capital and a stable position in the market. The main hypothesis is based on changing consumer preferences. The marketing research was conducted by a survey method in the form of a survey of respondents. The aim of the study was to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the organization providing credit products. A survey of consumers of credit products made it possible to determine vectors and control points when choosing a product by a consumer. This, in turn, made it possible to determine the parameters of the loan products, which need to be changed in order to increase the degree of customer satisfaction. The criteria for choosing a loan, the preferred channels for obtaining a loan and the attitude towards credit institutions that provide loans have also been determined. The article presents the activities that determine the marketing policy for future periods.

The article reflects the possibilities of using the descriptor-profile method in modeling recipes of functional food products taking into account the consumer preferences. Preserved foods using sprouted bare-grained oats or wheat and barley-malt extract served as samples for research. The simulation of the consumer preferences of the preserved product was carried out using a descriptor-profile method of tasting analysis. There were thirty-two features of descriptors identified for assessing organoleptic indicators and emotional customers’ perception of the product. A visual model of the consumer preferences of the preserved product was formed. The intensity and significance of each descriptor were determined. Influence of share of sprouted grain and malt extract on consumer preferences of preserved product was studied. Increasing the share of sprouted grain in the product reduced the coverage of the grain with the extract, the pallor and hardness of the grain, the intensity of brown color and the presence of malt-apple aroma. An "ideal" portrait of the product has been developed taking into account the strengths and weaknesses of the product, allowing to design organoleptic indicators at the stage of product development. High consumer preferences of the preserved product – a harmonious sweet taste with slight sourness, malt-apple-honey aroma, moderate grain hardness, lack of bitterness, – were achieved with 40% – 50% sprouted grain and 50% – 60% extract.

Modern consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the perceived health benefits of food. As a result, they are in search of various types of information, for example, information on the packaging of food products that could confirm to what extent the purchased product will meet their expectations regarding the proper composition, that is, nutritional value, or perceived health values earlier mentioned. Furthermore, consumers increasingly seek new dairy products with additional health benefits and, therefore, it is essential to explore which attributes are important drivers of food choices and how producers can better respond to shifting consumer values and needs in each dairy product category. Therefore, the aims of our research was twofold: (1) To determine different segments of consumers based on their preferences towards food and nutrition, including opinion on new food products with a particular emphasis on a dairy market as well as (2) to study the importance of some statements related to nutrition presented on the yoghurt label with a precise focus on aspects of the increased and decreased content of some ingredients. The data were collected using a CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) survey on a sample of 489 adult Polish consumers. Respondents provided answers to questions and took part in a discrete choice-based experiment. The obtained data were analysed using the clustering method. The segmentation was performed using a hierarchical Ward’s method. As a result, four segments were identified: Quality-oriented, Involved, Quality Enthusiasts, and Neutral. The results indicated that in relation to the features that are important in the case of yoghurts, the following were indicated above all: Beneficial effects on health, its sensory values, as well as its availability on the market and production by traditional methods. Consumers belonging to Quality Enthusiasts seemed to be the most promising segment due to their openness to new products, as well as positive feedback on yoghurt. From the perspective of taking action on the food market, Involved may also be interesting, as it showed their openness to new products available on the food market. However, due to the relatively lower, compared to other segments, assessment on the beneficial effect of yoghurt on health, their taste, aroma, availability, as well as the importance of information on care for the proper method of breeding animals, this segment can pose a special challenge to entrepreneurs. Moreover, Involved seemed to be more demanding and critical towards some projects undertaken on the market by policy makers and marketing practitioners.

Abstract Probiotics are living organisms that have beneficial effects on host by regulating the microbial balance of the intestinal system. While probiotics are naturally found in yogurt and other fermented foods, they can also be added to many products. Although mostly in dairy products, it is possible to see examples of food products supplemented by probiotics in bakeries, chocolates and confectioneries. Nowadays, the COVID-19 pandemic that the world suffers increased the demand for such functional food products including probiotics. Due to probiotics having potential effects on strengthening the immune system, confectioneries supplemented by probiotics were comprehensively discussed in this review together with the suggestion of a novel gelly composition. The suggested formulation of the product is a gel-like snack contains natural ingredients such as carrot, lemon juice and sugar provided from apples.
