Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well known that food triggers various emotions throughout the consumption chain starting from purchase planning and ending with food consumption. Consumer behavior covers topics associated with people and/or households and the decisions they make regarding food purchase planning, shopping, storing, cooking/food preparation, eating, managing food leftovers, and food waste. Attitudes, behavior, and perception are influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic quality cues.
In this Special issue, we encourage authors to submit original research manuscripts or reviews related to, but not limited to, the following topics: food sensory studies; food oral processing studies; field surveys targeting various food quality issues; field surveys targeting various food safety issues; purchasing patronage and food choice; consumer perceptions associated with intrinsic quality cues; consumer perceptions associated with extrinsic quality cues; food quality 4.0 and sensory science; consumer food preferences; and cross-cultural perception toward various types of food.
