While the Food and Biotechnology industries often use unit operations that have been known for some time, sometimes these processes are not efficient or sustainable. The need to develop more efficient processing lines to obtain higher quality products is of utmost importance. Over the last years, pulsed electric fields (PEF) processing has attracted the interest of numerous researchers and companies due to its ability to reduce processing time, preserve thermolabile compounds, which are responsible for the aroma, nutritional and bioactive properties of food products.
Therefore, in this article, some of the most important studies regarding the application of PEF technology in food and biotechnology processing is discussed.
This research project focused on the consumers' acceptance of a newly developed apple in order to encourage the purchase behavior in the supermarket. It was enriched with selenium via biofortification in order to address the undersupply with the trace element in the German population. The study included online surveys and a market test in food retail. The results were used as preparation for the design of a marketable apple product. In the online pretest, the most popular apple cultivars, the most popular health benefits of selenium, as well as the respondents' preferences for the name of the new apple: Selstar® were detected. These results were included in an online survey which encompassed n=1042 interviews from German households. The sample was recruited according to national representative distribution of age groups, gender, and regions. The results show that the majority of the respondents were not sure what exactly selenium is and what it is used or needed for. Therefore, the product package included information about the health benefits of selenium, for e.g. the immune system. The stepwise approach of the research and the implementation of the results helped the targeted navigation of the market launch of the Selstar®.
Die Herkunft von Lebensmitteln stellt für VerbraucherInnen ein wichtiges Produktmerkmal dar. Diese Tatsache macht sich der Lebensmitteleinzelhandel mit gezielten Vermarktungskonzepten in jüngerer Zeit zunehmend zunutze. In einigen Produktbereichen – insbesondere bei Tomaten - können mit der Angabe „deutsche Herkunft“ deutlich höhere Preise durchgesetzt werden. Die vorliegende Studie geht der Frage nach, ob für deutsche Gurken eine ähnlich hohe Mehrzahlungsbereitschaft besteht, die jedoch mangels Kennzeichnung am Markt nicht abgerufen wird. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde mit 589 VerbraucherInnen ein Kaufexperiment durchgeführt. Es zeigt sich, dass rund 85% der VerbraucherInnen deutsche Gurken im Vergleich zu Gurken anderer Herkunft bevorzugen würden und das Herkunftszeichen einen positiven Effekt auf die Kaufentscheidung hat. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse liefern heimischen Erzeugerorganisationen somit relevante Informationen für die Ausgestaltung zukünftiger Vermarktungsstrategien.
