Reviews and discrete choice studies also indicate that acceptance is still conditional, presenting marked differences between countries and market segments.
“Reviews and discrete choice studies also indicate that acceptance is still conditional, presenting marked differences between countries and market segments (Van der Stricht et al., 2023; Olsen et al., 2024; Hung et al., 2023).”
From Microalgae biotechnology and its role in sustainable and healthy food design (2025) · cites this paper as Hung et al., 2023
The main study passage (page not specified) reports three groups—enthusiast, uncertain, and uninterested—with different determinants of willingness to try microalgae products, supporting conditional acceptance across consumer segments. It surveyed five countries but does not report differences between them. It describes a cross-sectional survey and regression analysis, not a review or discrete choice study. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
