“…This attribute, then, had low priority to be developed in purchasing decision. These findings are in accordance with previous study, arguing that packaging factor was not main determiner in purchasing decision by consumers, but beef's texture and price were deemed important to be considered by producers and marketers [20,21]. Nonetheless, this research is unlike with others investigation reporting that attribute of packaging was highly important to maintain beef's security, hygiene, and quality, so that its hygiene and security were well-protected to be consumed [22][23][24].…”

This research is aimed to analyze consumer behavior in purchasing beef at modern market, located in District of South Bolaang Mongondow, Province of North Sulawesi, viewed from level of interest and performance of various attributes closely attached to beef products. The research, methodologically, then, was performed under survey method to beef's consumers in two supermarkets existing in District of South Bolaang Mongondow. Both supermarkets selected as research site were Media Trans and Hail Mart, having been newly operated since 2018. 100 respondents were selected with accidental sampling technique, 50 respondents of each supermarket respectively. Data obtained were primary data, comprising of consumers' perception against 25 items of beef attributes in-depth questioned under guidance of list of questions prepared initially. To analyze the level of interest and performance of beef attributes sold according to consumers' perception, importance-performance matrix (IPM), thus, was employed. A value given for the level of interest and performance had 5 indicators, ranging of 1-5. As a result, the research concludes that attribute of expired dated, contents of beef's parts and information of halal (under religious practice) were significantly important; however, the performance had not been in accordance with consumers' expectation in influencing purchasing decision. Therefore, as further recommendation, those beef attributes are necessarily required higher priority by management of both supermarkets and beef's producers in improving beef's quality in order to satisfy consumers' demand in purchasing beef products.

“…Many consumers mostly buy raw chicken for preparation in their households at supermarkets, in a refrigerated or frozen state. In a similar South African study ( n = 466), Xazela, Hugo, Marume, and Muchenje (2017) also found that a high proportion of consumers from the Eastern Cape province (65%) most often buy meat at supermarkets. Supermarkets are most popular probably because they dominate about 65% of the South African meat market (Ncube, 2018).…”

Understanding consumers’ perceptions toward chicken meat safety and quality could provide valuable information to public health educators since it is the most consumed meat. This study explores perceptions of a group of South African consumers on the safety and quality of chicken meat based on intrinsic and extrinsic attributes and identifies related safety risks. Data were collected through a web‐based survey (863 participants). A substantial proportion of consumers considered supermarkets as the most trusted outlets to sell safe and good quality chicken (compared with butcheries, wholesalers, farmers’ markets, street vendors, or “other retailers”). The majority of respondents (53%) most trusted refrigerated chicken to be of good quality compared with 36% trusting frozen chicken or 11% chicken at room temperature. Frozen chicken was considered most safe by 48% of consumers while 43% regarded refrigerated chicken as most safe. At point of purchase and home, smell, use‐by date, sell‐by date, and color were perceived as important attributes when judging chicken safety and quality. Consumers considered the absence of brine use and growth‐promoting hormones in chicken feed as relatively important. The majority of consumers can be classified as highly involved during purchasing. It is essential that consumers apply safe chicken handling practices from point of purchase to consumption, irrespective of the type of retailer, perceived sensory characteristics, and date labels to reduce or eliminate microbial risks. Addressing consumer's knowledge and expectations regarding factors such as growth‐promoting hormones and free range may improve safety and quality perceptions. Practical Application This study gives insight into perceptions of a group of South African consumers toward safety and quality of chicken meat. Understanding consumers’ perceptions can provide valuable information to public health educators since chicken meat is a common vehicle for Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp., which are human pathogens. Additionally, this information can assist the chicken industry to meet consumer expectations.

Development of a Low-Cost Multi-Waveband LED Illumination Imaging Technique for Rapid Evaluation of Fresh Meat Quality

et al. 2019

Determining the quality of meat has always been essential for the food industry because consumers prefer superior quality meat. Therefore, the food industry requires the development of a rapid and non-destructive method for meat-quality determination. Over the past few years, a number of techniques have been presented for monitoring meat–chemical attributes. However, most previous techniques are quite expensive, destructive, and require complex hardware to operate. Thus, in this work, we demonstrate a low-cost sensing technique (eliminating the expensive equipment and complicated design) for meat–chemical quality detection. The newly developed system was integrated with a low-cost monochrome camera and ordinary light-emitting diode (LED) light sources, with fifteen different wavebands ranging from 458 to 950 nm. The monochrome camera captures images of the meat sample across a spectral range from 458 to 950 nm using a single snapshot method. The chemical values (e.g., moisture, fat, and protein) were also determined using conventional methods. The collected images were combined to produce a multispectral data cube and to extract spectral data. Partial least squares (PLS) and support vector regression (SVR) modeling were used on the extracted spectra and chemical values. The developed models for meat samples displayed accurate chemical-component prediction ( R 2 > 0.80). Our model, based on a monochrome sensor using only fifteen wavebands, provided reasonable results compared with the previously developed expensive spectroscopic techniques. Therefore, this complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) based multispectral sensing technique may have the potential to detect meat quality, thereby facilitating a simple, fast, and cost-effective method applicable to small-scale meat-processing industries.
