Description: | This study evaluated the perception of Brazilian consumers regarding the nutritional value, preparation/consumption preferences, and acceptance of genetically modified (GM) beans. An opinion survey was carried out using an electronic questionnaire from Google®. From the total of 873 participants, more than 44% said they eat beans more than 5 times a week and describe beans as a yummy, traditional, and nutritious food. For them, beans are a food rich in iron (93%) and a source of protein (83%), that is not related to fattening (73%) and do not cause abdominal discomfort (82%). Regarding the possibility of consumption diversification, the Brazilian consumer would not buy beans ready for consumption (51%), such as canned beans (58%). On the other hand, most of the consumers would eat products made with bean flour (78%), e.g., pasta and snacks (65%) and pâté for appetizers (57%). As for the consumer's perception of GM products, the majority (87%) claimed to know that industrialized products have GM ingredients, such as soy or corn. There was an evident low acceptance (46%) of the term “transgenic” (and 36% of consumers were fearful). The results demonstrated that when consumers access more information about the quality and nutritional value of the product, the greater the trust and acceptance of GM beans. |
