Resumen
BRITEZ, Melisa Gladys y ROMERO, Mara Cristina. Conocimiento y consumo de alimentos funcionales en la comunidad académica de la Universidad Nacional del Chaco Austral. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2019, n.59, pp.285-296. ISSN 1851-1716.
The objective of the present study was to determine the degree of knowledge about functional foods and their consumption in members of the academic community of the Universidad Nacional del Chaco Austral. To that end, a survey was applied to 138 people, using a non-probabilistic sampling. Results shown that only 54 % of respondents had knowledge about functional foods. Fortified milk 62 %, bread with bran (63 %) and breakfast cereals (54 %) were the most included foods in the diet. Information obtained will allow us to implement educational interventions in the university community, to promote a healthy diet. It is also proposed to inquire in the future, about the relationship that people make between the term functional foods and their prices.
