“…This was also previously observed in a study conducted among local street foods in Mozambique [ 10 ]. As street foods are relatively less expensive than regular brick-and-mortar food establishments [ 3 , 51 , 52 ], this may indicate that local street foods could be a good source of MUFAs and PUFAs, especially among the consumers in developing countries [ 53 , 54 ].…”

“…Globalisation has resulted in a nutrition transition towards high-fat, sugar, and salty foods in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Malaysia, an upper-middle-income country [ 1 ]. Street foods are easily accessible [ 2 ], widely available, and inexpensive compared to other formal food premises [ 3 ]; hence, they are a major contributor to dietary intake and nutrition for most of the population. Fats in food exist in varying proportions of saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and trans fatty acids (TFAs) [ 4 ].…”

Despite growing evidence of increased saturated and trans fat contents in street foods, little is known about their fatty acid (FA) compositions. This study aimed to analyse the saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and trans fatty acids (TFAs) content of 70 selected and most commonly available street foods in Malaysia. The street foods were categorised into main meals, snacks, and desserts. TFAs were not detected in any of the street foods. Descriptively, all three categories mainly contained SFAs, followed by MUFAs, and PUFAs. However, the one-way ANOVA testing showed that the differences between each category were insignificant (p > 0.05), and each FA was not significantly different (p > 0.05) from one to another. Nearly half of the deep-fried street foods contained medium to high SFAs content (1.7 g/100 g–24.3 g/100 g), while the MUFAs were also high (32.0–44.4%). The Chi-square test of association showed that the type of preparation methods (low or high fat) used was significantly associated (p < 0.05) with the number of SFAs. These findings provide valuable information about fat composition in local street foods for the Malaysian Food Composition Database and highlight the urgency to improve nutritional composition.

“…In addition, various microorganisms that may cause potential hazards have been detected in samples taken from street foods (Abdalla et al, 2009;Cho et al, 2011). On the other hand, according to research conducted on consumer perceptions, consumers have negative attitudes such as not trusting the quality of food, suspecting it to be contaminated (Cardoso et al, 2014), and seeing it as risky for health as a result of unhygienic practices, and thus they avoid consuming such foods (Khongtong et al, 2017). Studies in the field of socio-economics and governance show that street food vendors represent the informal economy, they create an unfair competition environment as they do not pay taxes as a result of working without a license (Bromley, 2000), and they disrupt pedestrian and vehicle traffic, cause waste problems and noise (Martin, 2014).…”

This study examines the intention of consuming street food during independent travelers' trips based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, which is expanded with the variables of past experience and hedonism. The relationships between the variables of attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and past experience, and behavioral intention variables were examined. Moreover, moderator role of hedonism variable in the relationship between attitude and behavioral intention was tested. The study was conducted in Istanbul, and 523 of 541 questionnaires were analyzed. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the five hypotheses proposed in research model. Results showed that attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and experience, respectively, were important factors affecting the intention of independent travelers to consume street food. However, results also indicated that hedonism does not have a moderating effect between attitude and behavioral intention. It was shown in this study that the expanded Theory of Planned Behavior can be used to explain street food consumption intention. Finally, theoretical and managerial implications of the current study were presented.
