- Abstract
The food industries have been innovating and developing new products and processes.Consumers are aware and well concerned about new food technologies, which can infl uence food acceptance . In this context, the objective was to provide a portuguese version of the questionnaire developed in English to evaluate neophobia for food technology called Food Technology Neophobia Scale (FNTS). The original instrument consists of thirteen items and was initially translated into Portuguese by three bilingual individuals independently. Following the Portuguese versions were translated back into English by three other bilingual individuals, also independently. Analysis of versions and adjustments were performed to obtain a single version in Portuguese with linguistic and conceptual equivalence, which was called “Escala de Neofobia em relação à Tecnologia de Alimentos”. The original and translated versions were applied to 30 bilingual individuals to evaluate the reliability and reproducibility of the questionnaire. The results showed that the translation of the instrument was adequate and reliable, therefore can be used in studies with Brazilian consumers.
