To promote sustainable food consumption, a cross-sectional survey of 815 Italian adults, representative for age, gender, and geographical areas, explored consumer perceptions and purchasing barriers. Correspondence and cluster analysis were applied. Most respondents identified sustainable foods as having low environmental impact (88.6%), being healthy (81.3%), and locally sourced (81.2%). However, high prices and unclear labelling emerged as key obstacles. The cluster analysis identified four consumer groups. Notably, even the group aware of sustainability issues (Aware consumers with barriers - Cluster 2) still struggled to make sustainable choices due to persistent obstacles. Conversely, a small segment (Ditched consumers - Cluster 1), despite high socio-economic and educational status, showed no interest in sustainability. These results highlight the complex nature of barriers to sustainable consumption, shaped by diverse sociodemographic factors. Tailored strategies are needed to overcome these obstacles and support more sustainable consumer behavior.","PeriodicalId":14087,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144247702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 2,697 Italian university students participated (28% high MD adherence). Participants with higher adherence to the MD exhibit food waste-conscious behaviours, measured using the validated Household Food Waste Behaviour (HFWB) questionnaire. Specifically, higher consumption of fruits, vegetables, and legumes was significantly associated with lower food waste scores. Greater adherence to the MD significantly reduced the odds of engaging in high-waste behaviours (OR = 0.50, 95%CI: 0.41-0.62, p < 0.001). Individuals with higher MD adherence demonstrated superior skills in managing leftovers and estimating food quantities. Parental influence on food waste behaviours was positively correlated with adherence to the MD. These findings highlight the potential of promoting the MD not only for its health benefits but also as a strategy for reducing household food waste, with implications for both public health and environmental sustainability.","PeriodicalId":14087,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":"443-455"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144173801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas the specificity of different NDOs towards certain intestinal bacterial species remains unclear. In this study, konjac manna-oligosaccharides (KMOS) were selected from eight NDOs through in vitro faecal batch fermentation. KMOS accelerated increase of recognised probiotics (Bifidobacterium spp. and Akkermansia spp.) and achieved the highest productions of lactic acid and total short-chain fatty acids (42.0 mM). β-Mannosidase and β-glucosidase played important role in the utilisation of KMOS, and mannobiose and glucosyl-mannobiose were preferentially consumed by faecal microbiota. In pure culture, the utilisation of KMOS was tested with nine Bifidobacterium strains. Amongst, KMOS increased the cell density of B. animalis BB-12 by 3.5 folds and improved its adhesion ability to Caco-2 cell by 3.1 folds, suggesting that KMOS and B. animalis BB-12 may be developed as a potential synbiotic combination.","PeriodicalId":14087,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":"419-429"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143986230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
