Food-grade nanoemulsions: formulation, fabrication, properties, performance, biological fate, and potential toxicity.

Abstract: Nanoemulsions fabricated from food-grade ingredients are being increasingly utilized in the food industry to encapsulate, protect, and deliver lipophilic functional components, such as biologically-active lipids (e.g., ω-3 fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid) and oil-soluble flavors, vitamins, preservatives, and nutraceuticals. The small size of the particles in nanoemulsions (r<100 nm) means that they have a number of potential advantages over conventional emulsions-higher stability to droplet aggregation and gravitational separation, high optical clarity, ability to modulate product texture, and, increased bioavailability of lipophilic components. On the other hand, there may also be some risks associated with the oral ingestion of nanoemulsions, such as their ability to change the biological fate of bioactive components within the gastrointestinal tract and the potential toxicity of some of the components used in their fabrication. This review article provides an overview of the current status of nanoemulsion formulation, fabrication, properties, applications, biological fate, and potential toxicity with emphasis on systems suitable for utilization within the food and beverage industry.

When Online Reviews Meet Hyperdifferentiation: A Study of Craft Beer Industry

Abstract: We analyze how online reviews can be used to evaluate product differentiation strategy based on the theories of hyperdifferentiation and resonance marketing. Hyperdifferentiation says that firms can now produce almost anything that will appeal to consumers and can manage the complexity of diverse product portfolios. Resonance marketing says that informed consumers will only purchase products that they actually truly want. When consumers become more informed, firms that provide highly differentiated products should experience higher growth rate. We construct measures of product positioning based on online ratings and find supportive evidence using craft beer industry data. In particular, we find that the variance of ratings and the strength of the top quartile of reviews play a significant role in determining which new products grow in the marketplace (resonance). It is more important that some consumers love you than it is that most consumers like you.

The public health and economic benefits of taxing sugar-sweetened beverages.

Abstract: Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages has increased in recent decades; evidence suggests that consumption of these beverages contributes to obesity and adverse health outcomes. The authors discuss the potential public health and economic benefits of taxing sugar-sweetened beverages.

Food Advertising and Marketing Directed at Children and Adolescents in the US

Abstract: In recent years, the food and beverage industry in the US has viewed children and adolescents as a major market force. As a result, children and adolescents are now the target of intense and specialized food marketing and advertising efforts. Food marketers are interested in youth as consumers because of their spending power, their purchasing influence, and as future adult consumers. Multiple techniques and channels are used to reach youth, beginning when they are toddlers, to foster brand-building and influence food product purchase behavior. These food marketing channels include television advertising, in-school marketing, product placements, kids clubs, the Internet, toys and products with brand logos, and youth-targeted promotions, such as cross-selling and tie-ins. Foods marketed to children are predominantly high in sugar and fat, and as such are inconsistent with national dietary recommendations. The purpose of this article is to examine the food advertising and marketing channels used to target children and adolescents in the US, the impact of food advertising on eating behavior, and current regulation and policies.
