Floral food; Specific perceptual curiosity; Health consciousness; Healthy and caring lifestyle
Floral food represents a niche market in the food service industry. The aroma, colour, shape and beauty of flowers often attract consumers to try floral food. In this paper, we test a model of predictors of attitudes towards the consumption of edible flowers by sampling 357 consumers in Taiwan. The results show that specific curiosity and aroma are the greatest influences on attitude towards the consumption of edible flowers. Specific curiosity partially mediates the relationship between aroma and attitude towards the consumption of edible flowers. We also find that health consciousness both directly and indirectly, via a healthy and caring lifestyle, affects attitude towards the consumption of edible flowers. Segmentation analysis shows that these direct and indirect effects on attitude towards the consumption of edible flowers are greater among the respondents who are more experienced with edible flowers.

The current study developed the Sensory Walk Questionnaire and tested it in a restaurant environment. The results showed differences in perceived odour and sound intensity, pleasantness of odours, sounds, and visual environment, as well as sensory descriptors between different areas in the restaurant.

Does more information mean better choices? A study on calorie display and consumer behavior in restaurants
Dae Hee Chung, Doo Bong Han, Rodolfo M. Nayga Jr, Sang Hyeon Lee
Summary: This study investigates the effects of calorie-related information on food choices and reveals that presenting either daily calorie recommendations or specific calorie information can reduce consumers' calorie consumption. However, when both types of information are presented concurrently, this effect is nullified. The study also finds that personality traits, such as extroversion and self-esteem, influence food choices, with extroverts more likely to choose lower-calorie options. Good self-restraint is also linked to lower-calorie choices. These findings highlight the importance of strategic calorie information policies in promoting healthier choices.

The results showed that PROP ratings did not vary across remote and lab conditions. The classification in remote-solution and lab-disk conditions was comparable to the lab-solution reference condition, while the classification in remote-disk condition was not fully comparable.

Summary: This research explores the impact of key socio-psychological dimensions on individuals' intention to eat insect-based foods. The findings indicate that individuals with higher concern for environmental and ethical sustainability are more open to eating insects, particularly if they are treated ethically. The integrated attitude-food-intention model used in this study represents an innovative approach in consumer behavior research.
