Abstract

Consumer perception of food quality and safety significantly influences demand for novel food, particularly due to food neophobia and the reluctance to try unfamiliar foods. Understanding the behavior and the psycho-evolutionary factors is crucial for the successful proposal to consume of innovative foods. This study aimed to identify how various factors as age, sex, and trust in science influence eating behavior towards specific innovative food categories: cultivated meat, insects, and vegan foods.
