Consumers’ acceptance and willingness to pay for enriched foods: Evidence from a choice experiment in Italy by Concetta Nazzaro, Marcello Stanco, Anna Uliano, Giuseppe Marotta

“…In particular, consumers are showing an increasing interest in food innovation and towards foods capable to produce health benefits, such as enriched foods, which can be considered as functional foods. As consumer acceptance is crucial to the success of food innovation, this study aims to investigate consumers’ acceptance for two innovative enriched foods: extra virgin olive oil enriched with longchain Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), and a lutein-enriched durum wheat pasta. …”
