  • Understanding Consumers' Convenience Orientation. An
    sustainability Article Understanding Consumers’ Convenience Orientation. An Exploratory Study of Fresh-Cut Fruit in Italy Riccardo Testa , Giorgio Schifani and Giuseppina Migliore * Department of Agricultural, Food and Forest Sciences, University of Palermo, Viale delle Scienze, 90128 Palermo, Italy; [email protected] (R.T.); [email protected] (G.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-091-23896618 Abstract: In Western society, the fresh-cut fruit market is experiencing significant growth, especially in Italy, where, in 2019, the fresh-cut fruit sales volume increased by 35% compared with the previous year. This study aims to understand Italian consumers’ demand for fresh-cut fruits and to explore whether this trend is also affected by the prevalence of healthy lifestyles. Health orientation seems, in fact, to be a growing trend in the food sector. Research has recognized that consumers’ orientation towards products that are ready to be consumed is not only related to saving time. Sociodemographic factors and psychometric variables, including values and lifestyles, play important roles in under- standing consumer demand for convenience products. For this purpose, the food-related lifestyles (FRLs) tool was used to profile consumers. The FRLs tool is a useful instrument that describes different ways in which people use food to achieve their values in life. Data were collected by using an online survey carried out with Italian consumers of fresh-cut fruits. By using a cluster analysis technique, four Italian fresh-cut fruit consumer target groups were identified. The largest target group was represented by uninvolved consumers, who are not inclined to cook or plan meals and who are very influenced by the advertising of food products in their buying decisions.

  • Convenience Food
    CONVENIENCE FOOD Convenience foods or tertiary processed foods are foods which are designed to save consumers time, reduce wastage from spoilage, and reduce financial costs using economies of scale. These foods require minimum preparation, typically just heating, and are packaged for a long shelf life with little loss of flavour and nutrients over time. They were developed specifically to preserve the oversupply of agricultural products in order to stabilize the food markets in developed countries. Pros and Cons:- Consumers are attracted to these products for their: · Low financial cost. In addition to their low cost price, they negate the need to store fresh food and therefore the likelihood of wastage is significantly lower. · Low time cost. Convenience foods significantly reduce the time spent shopping for and preparing a meal. · Variety. Due to packaging techniques such as canning and freezing, foods are available at all times of the year. · Food safety. Packaging and processing techniques, such as canning, freezing, and irradiation, reduce spoilage and the presence of bacteria in the consumed products. Convenience foods are often criticized. Reasons for criticism include:- · They are often high in fat and calorie content, and over consumption of convenience foods are often linked to obesity. · They may contain Genetically Modified (GMO) foods. · Foods are sometimes subject to food irradiation, which has a negative public perception. · Preservatives are almost always used, which also have a negative public perception. Origin:- Many point to the feminist movement, unchaining women from the kitchen, as the motivation for the development of these products. Others say it is more likely that urbanization, industrialization, and a reaction to feed the post war population explosion after World War II was the true cause.

  • Icep Japan 2019 Daily Report
    ICEP JAPAN 2019 DAILY REPORT 7/2 The group arrived at 12pm at the Sign Barn for an orientation meeting with Alysa and Becky. It was so exciting for everyone involved to finally put faces to names! After our orientation meeting (where lunch was served by TSP) the group said goodbye to their parents and began the larger orientation process at Chimney Corners. Swim tests were conducted, we discussed LOD and POD responsibilities, and several campers also shared their assigned presentations about Japan for the group. We played some icebreaker games to pass the time and then had a lovely cookout dinner at the waterfront. After dinner, health checks were conducted and group members enjoyed free time on the Big Top playing four square. We had cabin chat outside at night before getting to sleep. 7/3 The group had a busy day today, as it was our final day of orientation. After breakfast, we finished up our presentations. Following this period, we went into leadership training. The leaders discussed the four tenants of leadership and the participants responded by filling out the first page of their CCRs. Lunch was held after a short free time. After lunch, the group had a siesta before going back to the Chimney Dining Hall. Becky was there to give the group a talk about non-negotiables. After this talk, we took a group picture and walked around Smith Pond.

Year 2016 Pages 51 Apparently foods play an important role in people’s life. People require nutrition in order to maintain their health and provide energy for their activities. Likewise, students significantly need a proper meal which provides enough required nutrition in order to help them maintain and develop their capability of learning. If universities failed to deliver attractive lunch service to their students, it might cause them to either abandon their lunch or be dissatisfied with the lunch service. From developing university cafeteria quality, it will increase students’ satisfaction as well as student retention. An attractive cafeteria will also become a pleasant space for students to improve their social need. Students therefore can have proper lunch with companies which might affect their mental health and encourage their learning ability. Study environment in universities recently might become more diverse because of the volume of the international students. Therefore, the objective of this study is to find the possible approaches on how universities can improve their lunch service quality, significantly, focus more on developing menu diversity. BarLaurea from Laurea University of Applied Sciences was chosen for this case study.
