Food Neophobia: Environmental and Biological Influences brings together academic and applied studies in order to give a comprehensive overview of this topic of great importance in both the fields of sensory and consumer science and pediatric psychology. The effects of food neophobia can have a huge impact on children's lives which can have an influence across the lifespan. Split into two main sections the book focuses on both the environmental aspects as well as the biological aspects of food neophobia. The section covering environmental aspects has chapters covering social, context and psychosocial factors affecting food neophobia. This section also covers neophobia specifically in children as well as its effects over the lifespan. Sensory aspects of the phobia are covered with chapters on disgust and sensation seeking. Finally in this section treatments for food neophobia are discussed. The second section on biological aspects has coverage of genetic and evolutionary influences as well as chapters on neurobiology and neural substrates and their effect on taste novelty and palatability. The book is essential reading for academic researchers studying food neophobia from a sensory and consumer science perspective as well as a psychology perspective. It will also be of value to food product developers, especially those working on products for children. Finally healthcare professionals treating patients suffering from food neophobia will be able to gain greater insight into the condition.
