“…(2021) suggesting that the Dominance dimension might be less crucial for emotion research when adults are involved. In contrast, the Dominance dimension seems to be of more importance when working with preadolescents (Sick et al., 2020, 2022), as they are potentially more focused on the control of the situation than on physiological activation (Barrett, 2006).…”

In line with the increasing popularity of emoji, the need for methodological research into these pictorial representations of emotion remains.The present research contributes to this goal by continuing to establish the meaning of emoji and exploring these according to between-country and interpersonal differences. The emoji (n = 12) were selected to span the valence × arousal emotion space, and the PAD model (Pleasure-Arousal-Dominance) was used to establish emoji meaning for the three dimensions, operationalized as measurement on 6 × 3 semantic differentials. Participants in the main study came from three countries-Germany, Singapore, and Malaysia (n = 2465), and a supplementary study included the United Kingdom and New Zealand (n = 600) (subset of four emoji). The results confirmed that emoji meanings according to the PAD model were largely similar between countries (albeit not identical). There were multiple minor significant differences for individual emoji, and where these existed, they often related to the dimension of Arousal, prompting a need for further investigation. Interpersonal differences were examined for gender (men and women), age group (18-45 and 46-69 years old), and frequency of emoji use. Again, significant differences were smaller rather than larger and supported the notion that emoji are generally applicable for multicountry research. However, caution regarding the participants who use emoji infrequently may be warranted.

“…Por ejemplo, se han utilizado resonancias magnéticas para entender las emociones que surgen cuando se evocan alimentos (Luo y Han, 2023). Otros ejemplos de estudios en alimentos son: la influencia del color en la percepción de los sabores y sus intensidades (Sukkwai et al, 2018); los factores de personalidad y emociones en la percepción y gustos por las sopas de tomate y calabaza con sabor a chile chipotle y extractos de jengibre (Scott et al, 2019); la experiencia perceptiva-hedónica, la cual incorpora la comprensión del comportamiento fisiológico frente a respuestas emocionales y experiencias del producto, desde su uso hasta la comercialización del producto (Porcherot et al, 2022); la comprensión del significado semántico de los emojis para describir experiencias alimentarias sus respuestas emocionales (Sick et al, 2022); el análisis de las percepciones y emociones de los consumidores con respecto a los alimentos etiquetados como verdes (Xu et al, 2023) o aquellos que se producen de forma sustentable (Muhammad et al, 2022); el efecto que tienen los mensajes para evocar sentimientos de vergüenza por consumir carne en el consumidor (Kranzbühler y Schifferstein, 2023).…”

Background: Emotions can be defined as a temporary state aroused by relevant external biological stimuli, either adverse or positive that have specific effects on the organism both in the body and in the mind. Research that has focused on emotions has grown exponentially even in areas such as agronomy and biology. Objective: This research aimed to explore current research on emotions, in order to achieve a better understanding of how they have been addressed in the field of agricultural and biological sciences. Methodology: VOSviewer software was used to conduct a co-occurrence analysis on 792 articles related to emotions published in the Elsevier® Scopus® database, the countries that published the most, scientific journals, and institutions were also analyzed. Main findings: The results show that the United States is the most productive country. In the early stages, the functioning of the human brain was characterized, later, studies with a cognitive, physiological and psychological approach were carried out and in recent years, research focused on consumer behavior. Implications. This study contributes to a better understanding of emotions and their implications in different aspects, such as nutrition, health and emotional well-being; highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach for a better approximation to the understanding of the complexity that occurs in agroecosystems, particularly those in tropical and subtropical zones that face considerable gaps with respect to other regions. Conclusions: It is concluded that research on emotions is having an impact on the understanding of perception and intentions that society has to acquire goods and services provided from the agri-food sector.

“…For that, the participants received the following statements: "Based on the image, I believe the product is healthy", "Based on the image, I believe the product is safe", "Based on the image, I believe the product is nutritive", "Based on the image, I believe the product benefits the environment", "Based on the image, I believe the product is tasty", "Based on the image, I believe the product has a suitable texture", and "Based on the image, I believe the product has an accessible price". Furthermore, the purchase intention was evaluated using a 5-point scale (1 = would certainly not buy; 3 = maybe buy, maybe not buy, 5 = would certainly buy) [11,21]. Then, the second and third packaging were evaluated using the same procedures.…”

Consumer perception of foods processed by emerging technologies has been scarcely studied. This study aimed to evaluate the perception of vegan and non-vegan consumers regarding probiotic almond-fermented beverages processed by ultrasound using the packaging of the products (pasteurized/conventional, processed by ultrasound, and processed by ultrasound with a claim on the label). A “Check All That Apply” test with emojis and the Food Technology Neophobia scale were used. The “processed by ultrasound” information did not impact the purchase intention and the perception of healthiness, safety, nutrition, environmental impact, flavor, texture, and price of the products. The claim inclusion increased the perceived acceptability and purchase intention and improved the emotional profile. The vegan consumers showed a more positive perception of ultrasound processing, resulting in increased perceived acceptability, higher citation frequency of positive emoji, and lower sums for the neophobia scale. Vegan and non-vegan consumers agreed that the most important attributes for consumer acceptance are almond aroma, flavor, and consistency. In conclusion, the “processed by ultrasound” information did not negatively impact the acceptability and emotional profile of probiotic almond-fermented beverages, and using a claim on the label may improve consumer perception of the products.
