L. G.  aWhat Do Consumers Think About Foods Processed by Ultraviolet Radiation and Ultrasound?h[electronic resource]  c2022  ahis study aimed to investigate Brazilian consumers' perception concerning foods processed by ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ultrasound (US) and define consumer segments considering their socioeconomic characteristics and eating habits towards industrialized products through free word association tasks answered by 1004 participants via an online platform. UV- and US-treated foods were more frequently related to unfamiliar words/terms (21.51 and 36.95%) and negative associations (36.25 and 26.70%) than positive ones (29.89 and 24.20%), respectively. Unfamiliarity and health risk concerns were more reported for US-treated foods by women aged 18-25 and &gt= 46 with low income, and low and frequent industrialized products consumption, as well as for UV-treated foods by consumers &lt= 35 years old with low and medium income, and low and frequent industrialized products consumption. This indicates that more clear and trustworthy information is needed before introducing these products in the Brazilian market, mainly for potential target consumer groups identified in this study.  aFood technology  aEmerging non-thermal technologies novel technologies UV light high-intensity ultrasound free word association  aTECHNOLOGIES ACCEPTANCE ATTITUDES WILLINGNESS PRODUCTS SAFETY RISK1 aDELIZA, R.1 aMARSICO, Eliane T.1 aALCANTARA, M. de1 aCASTRO, I.
