“…These results suggest that the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the household and household head play an important role in fluid milk consumption among the Turkish households. Similar results are reported on other study areas (see for example, capps, Schmitz 1991; Sun, Blaylock 1993;gould 1996;Watanable et al 1998;oğuz, Kucukcongar 2002;Bus, Worsley 2003;Wham, Worsley 2003;Foret, Procházka 2006;Stávková, Turčínková 2005;Stávková et al 2007Stávková et al , 2008.…”

This article identifies consumer characteristics associated with preferences toward fluid milk alternatives. Using consumer survey data from Samsun province of Turkey and Multinomial Logit model, unpacked and packed fluid milk preferences were analyzed. Based on the results, 14.1% of respondents consumed only unpacked fluid milk, 58.2% consumed only packed fluid milk and 27.7% of respondents consumed both unpacked and packed fluid milk at least once a weak. Multinomial Logit model results indicated that better educated household head, higher income households, younger and female household head and people who agree with "unpacked milk is not healthy" consume more packed fluid milk than do others. Moreover, consumers who agree with statement "price of packed milk is expensive compare to unpacked milk" were less likely to consume packed fluid milk than do others.Key words: milk consumption, packed and unpacked fluid milk, household characteristics, consumer behavior, preferences Abstrakt: Článek identifikuje charakteristiky spotřebitelů spojené s preferencemi alternativní spotřeby konzumního mléka. S využitím výzkumu spotřebitelských dat v turecké provincii Samsun a Mutninomiálního Logit modelu byly analyzovány preference spotřebitelů týkající se spotřeby baleného a nebaleného konzumního mléka. na základě výsledků výzkumu lze konstatovat, že 14,1 % respondentů spotřebovává pouze nebalené konzumní mléko, 58,2 % konzumuje pouze balené konzumní mléko a 27,7 % respondentů spotřebovává jak nebalené, tak nejméně jednou týdně i balené konzumní mléko. Výsledky Multinomiálního Logit modelu naznačují, že domácnosti s vyšší úrovní vzdělání hlavy domácnosti, domácnosti s vyšším příjmem, mladší domácnosti a domácnosti žen a lidé souhlasící s názorem, že nebalené konzumní mléko je nezdravé, konzumují vyšší podíl baleného mléka než ostatní. U spotřebitelů, kteří souhlasí s názorem, že "balené mléko je drahé v porovnání s nebaleným", se projevuje nižší pravděpodobnost konzumace baleného konzumního mléka než u ostatních.Klíčová slova: spotřeba mléka, balené a nebalené konzumní mléko, charakteristika domácností, chování spotřebitelů, spotřebitelské preference

“…A similar belief was found in New Zealand by Wham 11 , who found that half (49%) of the respondents agreed that milk is a good source of iron. She attributed her findings to the intense advertising by the meat industry to raise awareness about iron in food 11 . Furthermore, in the current study, misperceptions were held by about a quarter of the respondents that milk is a good source of fibre and vitamin C. This finding suggests that many people may be largely unaware of the actual nutritional content of milk.…”

“…Previous work revealed that perceptions such as perceived sensory properties 7 -11,13 -17 , cost 8,10,11,14 , convenience 8,10 , familiarity/habit 13,16,17 , nutritional knowledge and beliefs 8,14,18 , and concerns about fat and cholesterol contents 7,8,10,11,14,15,17 -19 all influence milk consumption and attitudes towards the different types of milk.…”

“…Since women are more concerned with reduction of dietary fat intake and body weight 11,21,22 and higher socio-economic status (SES) is positively correlated with healthy dietary patterns 23,24 , differences in fat-related perceptions and interactions between types of milk and demographics would be expected across demographic groups. In addition, Wham 11 found that women generally held more positive beliefs about the taste, health, nutrition and price of milk than did men and that people of high occupational status were more concerned about cholesterol. Misperceptions and uncertainty about the nutrient content of milk may also be prevalent.…”

“…Misperceptions and uncertainty about the nutrient content of milk may also be prevalent. A survey in New Zealand 11 found that 49% of the respondents agreed that milk is a good source of iron and that agreement was higher among lesseducated people. Since previous research 8 found a positive correlation between educational level and nutritional knowledge, we expected that people with higher educational levels would hold more correct perceptions.…”

Objective: To identify consumer perceptions of whole milk, reduced-fat milk and soy milk, and to investigate demographic influences on perceptions and types of milk consumption. Design and setting: Questionnaires covering nutritional and sensory perceptions of three types of milk. Subjects: Three hundred and sixty-one randomly selected shoppers in Melbourne, Australia. Results: Generally, respondents held positive perceptions about milk. Milk was considered as having good sensory properties, providing a good source of nutrients, and being a convenient and safe product. However, despite these findings, misperceptions and unawareness about the nutrient content of milk were prevalent. Negative perceptions were most common for whole milk and were mostly related to its perceived high fat, cholesterol and energy contents. Soy milk received lower ratings on sensory quality and convenience than dairy milk. There were few sociodemographic differences in consumers' perceptions. Although reduced-fat milk consumption was more frequent among elderly people and type of milk consumption was related to parenthood, no other significant effects of demographic variables were found on the consumption of specific milk types. Conclusion: Although positive perceptions were common, negative perceptions and misperceptions appear to be prevalent, presenting a challenge for nutrition education. Sociodemographic factors were not shown to be important predictors of perceptions and type of milk consumption.
