Abstract

Planteamiento del problema : El pescado representa una excelente fuente de proteínas esencial para nuestra salud. Sin embargo, con bastante frecuencia, determinados grupos de consumidores, especialmente jóvenes, rechazan consumir este producto debido a su naturaleza muy perecedera, los altos costes de preparación o algunas de sus características sensoriales (apariencia, espinas, escamas u olor). Con el fin de superar estas barreras al consumo, se están desarrollando nuevos productos de pesca. En este caso se ha materializado en el desarrollo de un nuevo producto a base de pescado: Fishburger. Objetivos : El presente trabajo analiza las preferencias de los consumidores jóvenes para el nuevo producto, denominado fishburger, evaluando la importancia relativa de la dimensión sensorial, salud y conveniencia y su influencia en la satisfacción y en la intención de consumo. Método de Investigación: Se realizó un test de producto, que incluía tanto análisis sensorial como evaluación de los atributos de conveniencia y de salud, sobre una muestra de 349 jóvenes de Galicia. Resultados : Los resultados muestran que la preferencia está notablemente influída por la dimensión sensorial o hedónica mientras que la percepción de beneficios relacionados con la salud y de conveniencia tienen una menor influencia sobre la intención de consumo del nuevo producto. Introduction: Fish and seafood products represent an excellent source of protein essential for our health. However, very often, consumers do not buy or consume the product due to physical and psychological costs, which represent barriers to consumption. Consequently, there is an opportunity to develop new tailor-made seafood products more adapted to present demand. This is the case of Fishburger. Objectives : The aim of this study is to analyze the preferences of young consumers for such a new seafood product. Particularly, what is the influence of sensory, convenience and health dimension on consumer satisfaction and future intention to consume the product. Research Method : A product test was carried out, which included both sensory analysis and evaluation of convenience and health attributes, using a representative sampling of 349 young consumers of Galicia. Results : Evidence suggests that liking for the sensory aspects plays a dominant role in seafood product evaluation and consumption, as it explains most of the satisfaction and intention to consume the product. The relative contribution of health and convenience aspects is significant only on intention to consume, but not on satisfaction.
