    Knowledge of functional foods by consumers
    (2020) Balogh, Tímea; Kőszegi, Irén; Hoyk, Edit
    Our research topic is current because of the fact that one of the main issues in human food consumption in Hungary today is the proper nutrition of people, or „you are what you eat”. In our work, we compare conventional foods with functional foods in terms of consumer awareness. We chose these two food types which can be produced in different ways because we investigate what is the opinion of consumers based on their different sexes, ages, and quality of life. We examine what is their feeling about conventional and functional foods, how well they know them.

    The market of functional foods
    (2020) Balogh, Tímea; Kőszegi, Irén; Hoyk, Edit
    In our work, we compare conventional foods with functional foods in terms of consumer perception. Nowadays, in addition to conventional foods, the production of functional foods is becoming more and more widespread globally, including in Hungary. Recently, there is a growing interest in so-called functional foods, hoping that these products are guaranteed to contain a slightly healthier nutrient composition than products made from conventionally (traditionally) grown ingredients. All this opens a new chapter in today’s agricultural production and food production. Consumers are looking for functional foods that inspected and certified, can provide greater safety for consumers, as opposed to conventional foods. But like most healthy foods, functional foods represent a higher price than products that are considered the same in the category but are not „medicinal”.
