Considering that the lack of consensus on how wellbeing is
defined, measured and achieved has been reported in several areas
of research (McMahon et al., 2010), it is necessary to understand
how consumers perceive the influence of foods on their wellbeing.
This approach can provide a more holistic evaluation of consumer
perception of food products than overall liking or healthfulness
scores, which might contribute to a better prediction of long-term
consumption (Boelsma, Brink, Stafleu, & Hendricks, 2010). According
to Meiselman (2013) a consumer-based approach for measuring
the influence of food products on consumer perceived
wellbeing and wellness is among the most today’s relevant topics
in sensory and consumer science
