“…In addition, consumers may not formulate or carry out strategies to change their patterns of purchase and consumption of dietary products, because they value established preferences and feel that individual acts of consumption will not affect their health. 37 This finding is in line with many previous studies (eg, [59][60][61] which have shown that nutritional information is not the sole influence on individuals' choices or intentions to purchase a product. However, it remains necessary to investigate the reasons behind this low impact on consumers' decisions in an e-commerce platform.…”

Recent advances in e‐commerce have resulted in significant progress being made toward strategies, requirements, and the development of various mechanisms aimed at influencing consumers' decisions to purchase online. The relationship between different packaging design elements and their effect on consumers' online buying decisions has been less researched, due in part to the lack of statistical power to detect cause and effect relationships between these elements. This study examines the feasibility of multiple‐criteria decision‐making in order to identify and analyze the causal relationships between the different packaging design elements that are required to stimulate consumers' decision to buy products online. Consumers' direct, indirect, and interdependent behaviors in relation to PDEs and purchase decisions were studied for this paper. A total of 142 students (89 males and 53 females, aged 22‐37 years) participated in this study. The results identified several associations between design elements. The four most important PDEs found to influence consumers' decision to buy via the internet were graphics, colours, label information, and country of origin. This study provides the necessary insights into the design of product packaging by targeting aspects related to the appearance of the products' characteristics. Correlations between the various PDEs obtained from this study can be used to increase consumers' interactions with products in e‐commerce environments.

“…The sensory features of the product also play a role in its perceived healthiness. The taste and other sensory features of the product may dominate over the perception of healthiness [ 41 , 52 , 79 ], and if the sensory features of the product do not satisfy the consumer, then communicating the nutritional value is not enough to make the product accepted [ 44 ].…”

Factors that Influence the Perceived Healthiness of Food—Review

2020

The interest of consumers is the consumption of healthy food, whereas the interest of food manufacturers is that consumers recognize the produced “healthier” food items on the shelves, so they can satisfy their demands. This way, identifying the factors that influence the perceived healthiness of food products is a mutual interest. What causes consumers to consider one product more beneficial to health than another? In recent years, numerous studies have been published on the topic of the influence of several health-related factors on consumer perception. This analysis collected and categorized the research results related to this question. This review collects 59 articles with the help of the search engines Science Direct, Wiley Online Library, MDPI and Emerald Insight between 1 January 2014 and 31 March 2019. Our paper yielded six separate categories that influence consumers in their perception of the healthiness of food items: the communicated information—like FoP labels and health claims, the product category, the shape and colour of the product packaging, the ingredients of the product, the organic origin of the product, and the taste and other sensory features of the product.

“…Sensorial attributes are likely to gain further importance in that taste is a major determinant of consumption choice in the food industry (Miller et al, 2001). In addition, changes in consumer acceptability for new preparations are likely to lead to the development of new products (Marino et al, 2017). Future opportunities for producers are based on the high segmentation of the market for meat products, and on the potential strategies of differentiation that may be implemented in order to meet the public interest toward sustainability issues, environmental efficiency, impact of carbon footprint, animal welfare and healthiness (Kristensen et al, 2014).…”

Understanding how an adequate food security may be determined, how nutritional intakes evolve over time and are influenced by global dynamics are few of the questions scholars are trying to answer. In addition, a great interest is devoted to the changes in consumers' preferences and expectations as well as to the analysis of food innovations and their impact on the global market.We review the recent and emerging trends in food supply chains of selected sectors (fruits and vegetables, meat, and seafood), and deepen on emerging trends in the food industry. By presenting the evidence provided by the literature and emphasizing the unresolved research questions, we offer a critical view of future directions that should be followed by research agenda.
