Abstract
Several studies have reported that taste is one of the most important factors for choosing gluten-free (GF) products and that generally a GF label could increase consumer confidence. Since empirical evidence has shown that non-celiac people also eat GF products, the aim of our study is to assess the impact of taste and GF labeling on one’s willingness to pay (WTP) for GF cocoa wafers, as assessed by non-celiac consumers. A total of 222 non-celiac consumers participated in a hypothetical experiment. The results indicated that non-celiac consumers showed no statistically significant differences in WTP values when they taste gluten and GF products and evaluate GF label use.
Keywords: Gluten-free, wafers, willingness to pay, non-celiac, tasting, labeling.

Bioactive compounds, functional foods, metabolism, and health
Nutrition, metabolism, and their intervention strategies have become focal points of interest in the study of metabolic syndrome and health. Bioactive compounds, phytochemicals, and functional foods play crucial roles in modulating metabolic processes and improving human health. Moreover, the composition of the gut microbiome is also believed to be closely ...read more
Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
