Abstract

The identification of key extrinsic (marketing) and the intrinsic (sensory) product is important in new gluten-free food development to know consumer acceptance. Involving the consumer in the process of developing and marketing gluten-free foods through market research provides a more systematic means of managing consumer knowledge. The objective of this research was to assess consumers’ interest and acceptability toward new products “Special Wafer Made from Pregelatinized Cassava Flour”. The online survey was applied to consumers using google forms and the respondents were distributed randomly. Results revealed that the respondent's age was 39 years old on average, more than 70% of respondent desperately needed healthy snacks for their daily life with specific nutritional content. Less sugar, gluten-free, and good taste also greatly affected the willingness to pay for the product. When combined with a specific flavor the consumer would like to pay more. Also, the potential market of this product could be broadened not only for those people with a health problem such as celiac diseases but also for those people with a healthy lifestyle.
