This paper discusses the case of cultured meat against this multitude of possible determinants shaping future consumer acceptance or rejection. The paper also presents insights from a primary exploratory study performed in April 2013 with consumers from Flanders（Belgium）（n=180）. The concept of cultured meat was only known（unaided） by 13% of the study participants. After receiving basic information about what cultured meat is, participants expressed favorable expectations about the concept. Only 9% rejected the idea of trying cultured meat, while two thirds hesitated and about quarter indicated to be willing to try it. The provision of additional information about the environmental benefits of cultured meat compared to traditional meat resulted in 43% of the participants indicating to be willing to try this novel food, while another 51% indicated to be ‘maybe＇ willing to do so. Price and sensory expectations emerged as major obstacles. Consumers eating mostly vegetarian meals were less convinced that cultured meat might be healthy, suggesting that vegetarians may not be the ideal primary target group for this novel meat substitute. Although exploratory rather than conclusive, the findings generally underscore doubts among consumers about trying this product when it would become available, and therefore also the challenge for cultured meat to mimic traditional meat in terms of sensory quality at an affordable price in order to become acceptable for future consumers.展开更多

Only 9% rejected the idea of trying cultured meat, while two thirds hesitated and about quarter indicated to be willing to try it. The provision of additional information about the environmental benefits of cultured meat compared to traditional meat resulted in 43% of the participants indicating to be willing to try this novel food, while another 51% indicated to be ‘maybe＇ willing to do so. Price and sensory expectations emerged as major obstacles. Consumers eating mostly vegetarian meals were less convinced that cultured meat might be healthy, suggesting that vegetarians may not be the ideal primary target group for this novel meat substitute. Although exploratory rather than conclusive, the findings generally underscore doubts among consumers about trying this product when it would become available, and therefore also the challenge for cultured meat to mimic traditional meat in terms of sensory quality at an affordable price in order to become acceptable for future consumers.

文摘Rapid global population growth has caused an increasing need for products containing protein.Meat products are the most common high-protein food source,but impact the environment,cause animal welfare issues,and raise public health concerns.Consumer health and food safety are paramount to the food industry.Both the scientists and food industry are actively seeking plant proteins to substitute for animal-sourced proteins.Plant proteins have a well-balanced amino acid composition,and exhibit great potential for replacing meat via the development of healthy,high-protein,low-saturated fat,cholesterol-free,and nutritionally similar meat-like products.Generally,meat analogue formulations are specially designed and processing conditions are optimized to obtain the texture and bite of real animal meat.This article focuses on plant-based meat analogues,and covers aspects regarding processing,products,quality,and nutritional and structural modifications.Product safety consciousness and consumer acceptance are also discussed.Challenges and perspectives for future research concerning nonmeat products are presented.

文摘Student contacts of tuberculosis（TB）cases are susceptible to latent tuberculosis infection（LTBI）,and chemo-prophylaxis can reduce the risk of active TB among them.This study aimed to assess the acceptance of chemo-prophylaxis for LTBI among students, and their concerns regarding TB and its preventive treatment.
文摘Uniformity of dosage units[1]is one of the most commonly employed compendial tests to evaluate the dosage units.In the test,the acceptance value(AV)is the key statistics-based acceptance parameter with the limit of not more than 15 to measure the uniformity degree of the dosage units in terms of content uniformity or weight variation as applicable.With quality assurance(QA)principle,there should be some kinds of predetermined acceptance limits,like Bergum method introduced by James S.Bergum in 1990[2]and 2007[3]and recently recognized by ASTM 2709[4]and ASTM 2810[5]to ensure that the AV results for any future quality control(QC)samples will not exceed the compendial limit(NMT 15).
文摘Objective:To identify the acceptance of the vaccine based on factors influencing the vaccination program and the side effects from vaccinated people.Methods:A cross-sectional online survey of 1529 Bangladeshi adults(≥18 years)was conducted between 17 April,2021 and 26 April,2021.Statistical analysis of the data included Chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression analysis.Results:In total,67.04%of the participants were willing to accept a COVID-19 vaccine,and 45.00%of them in our study had already received.Overall Bangladeshi people were more likely to accept COVID-19 vaccine if the vaccine reduces risk of infectious disease and has no associated health risk after receiving it.Among the respondents,religions,education level,living area(urban),belif that vaccines protect against infectious diseases and vaccines do not have health-related risk and vaccination was significantly associated with the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines.Conversely,people’s perception on development of natural immunity rather than receiving vaccines was also positively reflected.More than half(57.41%)reported minor side effects such as fever,muscle pain and headache after getting vaccine shots.Conclusions:This study revealed that the acceptance rate was influenced by socio-demographic and health-related characteristics and people are not afraid of this vaccine if they faced minor side effects after receiving it.These findings might help the government and policymakers of Bangladesh to implement necessary steps to accomplish this vaccination program effectively.

文摘Severe rail roughness leads to a series of problems in metro systems,particularly the vehicle noise problem.To ensure a better acoustic environment,rail roughness control is therefore one of the main concerns for the metro operators.But the existing roughness acceptance criteria are not suitable for metro interior noise control.It is an appropriate method to determine the rail roughness limit based on interior noise.A rail roughness acceptance criterion based on metro interior noise is accordingly proposed in this paper.The relationship between rail roughness and interior noise can be derived with wheel-rail noise as link.With this objective,a combined test and simulation method is adopted.A validated wheel-rfigil noise prediction model is thus established to determine the relationship between rail roughness and wheel-rail noise.Moreover,the transfer function of wheel-rail noise to interior noise is developed based on extensive field test.Using this method,the noise sensitivity to roughness wavelength and acceptance criteria at different speeds and track structures are investigated.Finally,an eclectic rail corrugation acceptance criterion on curved track is suggested in consideration of practical application.
