Sažetak
Milk and dairy products are traditional foods that have adequate nutritional and a beneficial effect on health. In addition to traditional dairy products, the modern dairy industry also offers to consumers modified or enriched products that have a beneficial effect on health or have a better nutritional effect. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of consumption of milk and dairy products and whether consumers recognize the health and nutritional effects of these products on the body. This research has been conducted in June 2020 in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and included 209 respondents (distribution by age to Baby Boomer (5.1%), Generation X (18.1%), Millennials (44.2%) and Generation Z (32.2%), and by sex women make up 77.7% and men 22.2% of respondents). A questionnaire, based on the findings from literature, were used. Descriptive statistical analysis has been conducted using the IBM SPSS Statistics, Version 25.0. The research results show that respondents mostly consume cheeses (32.5%), followed by fermented milk product (30.5%) and fresh and UHT milk (30.5%). Half of the respondents consume these products daily, and a third do so several times a week, most for breakfast. Respondents choose dairy products based on sensory properties (32.1%), and only then according to nutritional and health value (31.1%). Nutritional and health claims for milk and dairy products are recognized by about 70% of respondents, and 36.4% of respondents are unsure of their veracity. Respondents will recommend milk and dairy products for consumption (68.2%), a smaller proportion of respondents because of the direct benefits they feel for their body (21%). Regardless of the generation distribution, cheeses and fermented dairy products are mostly consumed, followed by milk and liquid dairy products. Opinions on health claims for milk and dairy products are divided, respondents agree with the claims regardless of generational distribution.
