“…Although conventional wheat products were not the primary focus of this research, they were included as a reference to minimize the taste bias associated with unfamiliar products (i.e., Kernza). Previous studies have demonstrated that consumers' evaluations of novel products become more favorable when they are provided with a familiar comparison to reduce uncertainty (Mattavelli & Rizzoli, 2022). Since the focus of this research is to examine the impact of environmental benefit messages within a product category rather than the introduction of a new product, informing participants that they would be evaluating a wheat product and a wheat‐related product, Kernza, more accurately reflects how a familiar eco‐friendly product would be evaluated.…”

Despite a growing interest in environmentally sustainable practices, consumers continue to prioritize taste, quality, and price above environmental concerns when purchasing food products. Previous studies have shown that environmental claims or messages may not uniformly enhance product perceptions. This research examines strategic approaches to framing substantively identical environmental benefit claims differently across product types to enhance consumers' sensory and quality evaluations as well as their willingness‐to‐pay for sustainable foods. Results from two experiments show that consumers' assessments of sustainable utilitarian and hedonic food products can be enhanced if environmental claims are strategically framed in accordance with the nature of product types. The alignment of utilitarian food products with an environment‐focus frame that emphasizes environmental benefits and hedonic food products with a self‐focus frame that stresses the personal relevance of these protections and benefits can enhance consumers' experienced tastiness, quality evaluations, and willingness‐to‐pay for sustainable foods.

“…The consumption of leaves and/or flowers of plant species that are not present in our eating routine causes a certain repulsion for these foods. This behavior in rejecting or refusing to eat/experiment new foods is defined as neophobia (Mattavelli & Rizzoli, 2022).…”

Plantas que possuem uma ou mais partes comestíveis, de crescimento espontâneo, sem a utilização de aditivos químicos, nativas de uma região ou exóticas, que não fazem parte da alimentação diária são denominadas de plantas alimentícias não convencionais (PANC’s). Dados sobre estas espécies vegetais ainda são escassos na literatura, diante disto, este artigo aplica as ferramentas de análises bibliométricas para identificar os trabalhos publicados sobre plantas alimentícias não convencionais, quais temas já foram estudados ao longo dos anos e quais países se destacam pela pesquisa. Foi realizada uma pesquisa no banco de dados Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) e analisado o conjunto de dados de 25 artigos recuperados, publicados entre 2008 e 16 de março de 2022, usando o VOSviewer e o pacote Bibliometrix R. O Brasil foi o país com maior número de publicações e o dez trabalhos mais citados mundialmente, são todos de brasileiros. O mapa de co-ocorrência com as palavras-chave geraram 6 clusters principais. Apesar dos benefícios estudados, existem poucos trabalhos sobres PANC’s. Os resultados desta pesquisa orientará os estudiosos a identificar quais temas são necessários para a execução de pesquisas futuras.
