Design: The data for this study was obtained through a survey distributed to wine company followers from the Changyu Pioneer Wine Co. Inc., on WeChat resulting in the collection and analysis of 1,535 useable valid responses. Findings: Six clusters are identifiable; they differ significantly with various individual characteristics and wine purchasing behaviour. The choice between foreign and domestic wine is a significant factor in understanding wine preferences. The importance of wine attributes (colour, taste, and distribution channels) varied among different groups, indicating that these factors operate differently across populations. Variables pertaining to having experience abroad distinguished and separated younger cohorts. Participants from metropolitan areas, female participants, and younger age groups provided valuable insights into the preferences of the younger generation. Practical implications: Our findings emphasize the importance of considering factors beyond initial wine brand and individual characteristics when studying wine consumer behaviour. Elements such as taste preferences, distribution channels, cultural influences, and personal experiences play a substantial role in shaping wine preferences. Understanding the impact of these factors enables the development of strategies and offerings that better align with the diverse needs and preferences of Chinese wine consumers.","PeriodicalId":136714,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition and Food Science International Journal","volume":"68 40","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140486383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Salt Production and Availability of Iodized Salt in the Municipality of Sèmè-Kpodji in 2022","authors":"Carmelle Mizéhoun Adissoda, A.

In Benin, the production of salt is still artisanal. Our study focused on salt produced in Sèmè-Kpodji, a secondary site of local salt production in Benin, and on the availability of iodine in salt in this municipality. Methods: The descriptive cross-sectional study included exhaustive salt producers and randomly selected households in Sèmè-Kpodji. Direct observation was made to describe salt production. In household, a standard questionnaire collected data about the physical characteristic of salt used. Iodine content was determined with the MBI kit and by the iodometric titration method. Results: A total of 8 producers and 365 participants in the households were surveyed. Salt is produced by drying sea water on tarps for three and a half days. The process is done in eight (8) steps, the last of which is the iodization of the product and the packaging. By iodometric titration, the salt produced had an iodine content of 5.2ppm. The mean content of iodine in salt in household was: 87.5 ± 66.0ppm (2.6-396.1). Only 31.2% of cooking salt samples were adequately iodized (15-40ppm). High iodine concentrations have been observed in 62.2% of salt samples. Conclusion: Salts consumed in households in Sèmè-Kpodji ’municipality were, for the most part, excessively iodized, whereas local production is artisanal and low in iodine. Iodization of the latter is mandatory before marketing. A monitoring of the salt iodization strategy should be maintained to avoid excessive iodine consumption which can cause hormonal disorders.","PeriodicalId":136714,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition and Food Science International Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115016838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
