The aim of the study was to evaluate consumer perceptions toward customized snacks produced with a Healthy Snack Machine (HSM) prototype, at-site of the purchase and consumption. The present study had a multi-disciplinary approach including both snack product and HSM development (hardware and user interface). Snack development included both instrumental (viscosity, colloidal stability) and sensory characterization (by trained sensory (N = 10) and consumer (N = 55) panels) of spoonable and drinkable, oat- and dairy-based snack products, fortified with protein and/or dietary fiber. The protein and fiber addition reduced viscosity in spoonable products but did not affect the consistency of drinkable samples. Oat-based samples differed from dairy-based in multiple attributes in sensory profiling. In consumer sample testing, sample odor and taste were the most and least preferred aspects, respectively. In the snack machine testing, a qualitative consumer study (N = 33) showed that the HSM was easy to use, the user interface was clear, the ordering process was quick, and the participants were interested in using the HSM in the future. The snack choices (spoonable/drinkable and dairy/oat base) made by the consumers were distributed equally, but the berry-flavor was preferred over cocoa and vanilla. The most common HSM usage scenarios were “between work/school and hobbies” and “in transit from one place to another”.

This article describes the results of a survey intended as a preliminary assessment of consumer perceptions of the hazardousness of portable ladders and the warning labels provided on portable ladders. One hundred ten participants responded to an online survey tool called Amazon Mechanical Turk. The survey collected information about participants’ use of ladders, their ratings of familiarity with ladders, perceived hazardousness of portable ladders, and perception of warning labels on portable ladders. Results indicated a small but significant relationship between familiarity with ladders and their perceived hazardousness, and that participants thought that people should be warned about the hazards associated with ladder use. Implications for future research about consumer perception of portable ladder hazards and warnings are described.

<p>The aim of this study was to evaluate the beliefs, attitudes, and habits of consumption of dietary fiber and fiber-enriched products by consumers from the Northern region of Paran&aacute;, Brazil. In the present work, a questionnaire was applied to 100 people, which allowed observing a low consumption of these products. The attitude assessment showed that fibers are important for the adequate functioning of the body, because they are not digested by humans, allowing the control of obesity and diabetes, increasing satiety, and reducing cholesterol. In addition, consumers had knowledge of the fiber-rich foods and the need for their daily consumption. However, they were not sure if fiber intake could be related to decreasing the risk of breast cancer and that the fibers do not provide calories. In general, the attitude of consumers was positive in relation to the fibers and their products, however, it is recommended to strengthen the communication to consumer about health and functional properties of the consumption of dietary fiber.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14685/rebrapa.v3i1.56</p>
