The current study examines the impact of health claims on consumer preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for functional snack bars, focusing anti-inflammatory antioxidant properties. Through an experimental auction involving 175 participants, this investigates how providing clear information product benefits influences interest WTP while analysing role individual consciousness (HC) in shaping these preferences. results indicate that detailed positively affect bars compared standard options. Although both attract interest, no significant difference was observed between two, suggesting similar perceived value distinct benefits. However, highly health-conscious consumers demonstrate a stronger preference options, indicating HC specific claim valuation. These findings underscore importance effective health-related messaging promoting foods suggest general may resonate more broadly with than specialised ones. This study's enhance knowledge foods, especially offering valuable insights manufacturers aiming implement targeted marketing strategies public initiatives focused healthier dietary choices.

Abstract Noodles are usually rich in carbohydrates but lack essential nutrients such as protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, potentially causing metabolic problems if consumed the long term. This review explores strategies to improve quality of noodles through substitution fortification. Substitution is replacing main ingredient with a more nutrient‐dense alternative, sweet potato starch, which has been shown nutritional content noodles, fiber beta carotene. Meanwhile, fortification addition micronutrients food products restore or enhance levels that not present food, done during production process. However, have their challenges. The method causes decrease physical due changes raw materials, thus reducing consumer acceptance final product. fortified undergo considerable degradation production, effectiveness. Further research development should focus on new methods help maintain while minimizing loss substituted nutrients. Technological approaches microencapsulation proven effective maintaining stability L‐5‐methyltetrahydrofolate added production. cold plasma, γ‐irradiation, multifrequency ultrasound, well xanthan gum guar gum, able moisture level, color, texture, elasticity, chewiness, sensory acceptance. technology enables manufacturers meet customer demand for nutritious noodle options.
