Abstract

Urban consumers are increasingly exposed to health risks and dietary transitions, prompting growing interest in organic food products. However, actual purchasing behavior for organic options, such as fruit salad, remains inconsistent, particularly in emerging economies. Existing studies tend to emphasize attitudinal factors in developed markets, leaving a gap in understanding how structural demographic attributes influence organic preferences in developing urban contexts. This study aims to examine how education, marital status, income, gender, expenditure, and buying frequency shape consumer preference for organic fruit salad. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in an urban Indonesian setting, and binary logistic regression was employed to identify significant predictors. The results reveal that education and marital status are strong positive determinants of organic preference, while monthly expenditure is marginally significant. In contrast, income, gender, and buying frequency show no statistically significant effects. These findings suggest that informational access, household responsibility, and food budgeting behavior better explain organic food choices than income or habitual purchasing. The study contributes to consumer behavior and food preference literature by highlighting the socio-demographic foundations of sustainable consumption. Implications are offered for urban nutrition policy, consumer segmentation strategies, and targeted marketing to support the adoption of organic food in middle-income societies.

Abstract

Healthy living is now a popular lifestyle among the millennial generation, health consciousness is a concern for some who prefer to engage in activities that can be beneficial to the body, one of which is paying attention to dietary intake. Porang (Konjac) is an alternative raw material for processed products, especially konjac noodles, and those containing gluten. At present, there is little consumer research, apart from the fact that it is a relatively new product on the market, previous studies have focused on the glucomannan content of konjac noodle products. The results of the multinomial logit analysis for the five attributes, calorie content, fibre content, food additives and price, show that respondents prefer products with low calorie content, high fibre content, using natural food additives and the lowest price category. The attribute that consumers consider important, the use of natural food additives and fiber content, comes last. The implications of this study could be considered by manufacturers who want to produce konjac noodle to add natural food additives and list them on the label on the packaging. Building economical packaging and partnerships to achieve lower prices and attract consumers.
