AS CARACTERÍSTICAS MAIS IMPORTANTES DA CARNE BOVINA DE LABORATÓRIO PERCEBIDAS POR FUTUROS CONSUMIDORES
Resumo
Carne de laboratório é produzida a partir de células-tronco retiradas de um animal vivo, através de técnicas de engenharia de tecidos. Há escassos estudos de como possíveis consumidores reagirão a carne bovina de laboratório. Logo, o objetivo do estudo é avaliar a percepção do futuro consumidor brasileiro em relação à esse tipo de carne. A coleta de dados foi realizada via online, por meio da aplicação de questionários para uma amostra de 264 consumidores, em junho de 2019. O método de escolha discreta utilizando escala melhor – pior foi utilizado para mensurar as percepções. No questionário foram mensurados 10 atributos em relação a percepção sobre esse tipo de carne. A análise foi realizada por estatística descritiva. Os atributos considerados mais importantes para substituir a carne bovina convencional pela carne bovina de laboratório foram: menor risco zoonótico, mais saudável, maior segurança e menor impacto ambiental. E os atributos considerados menos importantes para substituir a carne de laboratório foram: maior popularidade, mais atrativa visualmente, menor preço e não causar impacto social.
