Abstract

The hybrid Elaeis oleifera × E. guineensis crude palm oil (HCPO), when compared to traditional crude palm oil (CPO), E. guineensis, presents higher levels of oleic acid, vitamin E, and carotenoids, and agronomic advantages for cultivation. This study aimed to analyze the perception, knowledge, and potential consumption of hybrid crude palm oil in different regions of Brazil. Data collected through an online questionnaire with 16 questions revealed that Brazilian consumers (n = 1065) had a limited understanding. Most responses (61.10%) did not accurately define this type of oil. The overall perception of the HCPO was predominantly neutral. Participants from the Southeast and Northeast regions had a more positive perception of the HCPO. The survey indicated that most participants (52.58%) expressed interest in trying HCPO, whereas 39.43% showed interest in buying products containing this oil, suggesting its potential market acceptance in Brazil. Future studies may encourage the popularization of this oil through the characterization, development of food products, and investigation of its health effects.

混合粗棕榈油在巴西地区：评价的知识，观念，和消费潜力。

与传统粗棕榈油（CPO）相比，杂交油棕与几内亚粗棕榈油（HCPO）的油酸、维生素E和类胡萝卜素含量更高，具有种植的农艺优势。本研究旨在分析巴西不同地区对混合粗棕榈油的认知、知识和潜在消费。通过16个问题的在线问卷收集的数据显示，巴西消费者（n = 1065）的理解有限。大多数回复（61.10%）没有准确定义这类油。对民政事务专员的整体看法以中性为主。来自东南和东北地区的受访者对健康护理中心的看法较为正面。调查显示，大多数参与者（52.58%）表示有兴趣尝试HCPO，而39.43%的人表示有兴趣购买含有这种油的产品，这表明它在巴西的潜在市场接受度。未来的研究可能会通过表征、食品开发和对其健康影响的调查来鼓励这种油的普及。

期刊介绍： Foods (ISSN 2304-8158) is an international, peer-reviewed scientific open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies related to all aspects of food research. It publishes reviews, regular research papers and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists, researchers, and other food professionals to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible or share their knowledge with as much readers unlimitedly as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material we also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds
