Determination of consumers’ attitude and behaviours about probiotic products: a case study of TR63 Region in Turkey

Abstract

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge levels, attitudes, and consumption tendency of consumers in the TR63 region of Turkey (Hatay, Kahramanmaraş, Osmaniye).

Methods and Results: A face-to-face survey study was conducted with 600 consumers in the TR63 region in order to determine consumers’ general behaviors and approaches regarding probiotic food products. Although consumers were generally willing to buy probiotic food products in the market (66.80%), they found home-made probiotic products healthier. Within the study it was determined that 74.80% of the consumers were producing at least one kind of probiotic product at home. The most common products produced at home were respectively; yogurt, ayran, pickled cucumbers/pickled cabbage, and kefir.

Conclusions: In recent years consumers’ interest in functional products have been increasing in Turkey as well as the world. Consumers tend to consume functional products in order to have a more wholesome life and prevent several health problems. Among the functional foods, probiotic products have an important place and are the most consumed functional products by consumers. According to the research results, consumers have a high awareness of the benefits of probiotic foods and they consume these products with confidence. In addition to these results, it was determined that consumers were willing to buy more probiotic food products if their prices were less expensive.

Significance and Impact of the Study: With the findings of the research; the preferences, priorities, and consumption frequencies of the consumers in probiotic products were determined. It is expected that these results will contribute to the food industry and the growing functional food product market in order to increase the consumption level of these products, and develop marketing opportunities.
