Ethical Consumers’ Awareness of Vegan Materials: Focused on Fake Fur and Fake Leather

January 2021 · Sustainability

With an increase in ethical awareness, people have begun to criticize the unethical issues associated with the use of animal materials. This study focused on the transition of global consumers’ awareness toward vegan materials and the relationship between the interest in ethical subjects such as animals, the environment, and vegan materials. For this purpose, consumers’ posts about fur/fake fur ... [Show full abstract] and leather/fake leather uploaded on Google and Twitter from 2008 to 2019 were utilized, and the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (Tf-idf) value was extracted using Python 3.7. Furthermore, the worldwide Google keyword search volume of each word was analyzed using Smart PLS 3.0 to investigate global consumers’ awareness. First, with time, consumers began relating animal materials such as fur and leather to topics such as animal rights, animal abuse, and animal protection. Second, as interest in “animal welfare” increased, interest in “fake fur” also rose, and as interest in “cruelty free” increased, interest in “fake fur”, “vegan fur”, and “vegan leather” also increased. Third, as consumers’ interest in the “environment” increased, interest in vegan materials such as “fake fur” and “fake leather” decreased. However, as interest in “eco” increased, interest in “vegan leather” also augmented.

Effect of different gluten-free flours on the sensory characteristics of a vegan alfajor : Vegan glu...

July 2020 · Food Science and Technology International

Vegan and gluten-free markets have grown considerably in the last few years. Sustainability and the use of agro-industrial waste have also gained interest on food market. Thus, this study aimed to develop a vegan gluten-free alfajor, assessing the effect of different gluten-free flours (peanut okara (a by-product), sorghum, and rice flours) on the product sensory profile, and its market appeal. A ... [Show full abstract] simplex centroid design was applied to optimize the alfajor formulation. Check All That Apply and acceptance tests were performed. The use of different flours and their mixtures generated products with different texture attributes. All formulations obtained good acceptances, but higher concentrations of peanut okara and sorghum flours contributed to produce softer alfajors, considered as preferred by consumers. Therefore, it was possible to develop a gluten-free alfajor with sensory quality adding value to an agroindustrial by-product.

Influence of Processing Temperature and Pressure on the Stability of the Structure of Hot-Pressed Gr...

January 1997 · Journal of Macromolecular Science Part A Pure and Applied Chemistry

The increased degree of transformation of leather to a material with thermoplastic properties is shown to increase this material's solubility in both dimethylsulfoxide and in a buffer similar to those used to dissolve high molecular weight proteins. This increase in solubility is controlled by the variable values of the processing parameters, temperature, and pressure, and is interpreted to ... [Show full abstract] suggest that this transformation of leather must be accompanied by the destruction of its collagen superstructure into fragments with a much smaller molecular weight. This model is further supported by molecular weight distributions as determined by size exclusion chromatography and by electrophoresis. The results of the investigation at the molecular level are corroborated by scanning electron microscopy of pleather samples.
