“…Although Shan, Brún, Henchion, Murrin, Wall and Monahan (2017), concluded that demographics do not account for a large variation in functional processed meat products, others authors have associated the differences in the acceptance of health claims, FFs in general and functional meat products with family composition (Contini et al , 2015; Schnettler, Miranda, Lobos, Sepulveda, Orellana, Mora and Grunert, 2015), education (Hung, de Kok and Verbeke, 2016; Schnettler et al , 2015a), ethnic origin (Schnettler, Miranda, Lobos, Sepulveda, Orellana, Mora and Grunert, 2015), age (Díaz-Vela et al , 2017; Masson et al , 2016; Schnettler, Miranda, Lobos, Sepulveda, Orellana, Mora and Grunert, 2015; Shan, Brún, Henchion, Murrin, Wall and Monahan, 2017) and gender (Contini et al , 2015; Díaz-Vela et al , 2017; Masson et al , 2016). Others researchers have associated the differences with general health interest (Contini et al , 2015; Díaz-Vela et al , 2017; Hung, de Kok and Verbeke, 2016), level of satisfaction with food-related life (Schnettler, Miranda, Lobos, Sepulveda, Orellana, Mora and Grunert, 2015; Schnettler, Lobos, Miranda, Orellana and Grunert, 2015; Schnettler et al , 2016), familiarity with the product (Contini et al , 2015; Hung, de Kok and Verbeke, 2016) and consumer country of origin (Contini et al , 2015; Hung, de Kok and Verbeke, 2016). Recently, Kraus et al (2017) reported that gender and age differentiate the preferences for base product or carrier, since young men prefer meat products in the role of functional carriers, whereas women and older men prefer cereal products as carriers.…”
