In addition, there are variations in the economic value of production and in the traceability system. Therefore, the aim of this research was to understand the purchasing and consumption patterns using the customer behavior analysis technique of focus groups, which analyzed motivations for the consumption of beef, classifying their preferences by the intrinsic and extrinsic attributes at the time of purchase. The key aspect of the consumption of beef, both for Spanish and Brazilian consumers, was personal satisfaction/flavor. Spanish consumers were more conscious than Brazilians of the beneficial and harmful qualities that meat provides. The presence of fat was the factor that most restricted intake in both countries. The most important intrinsic attributes for Spanish and Brazilian consumers were the visual aspects of the meat: color, freshness, and the quantity and disposition of fat. The most important extrinsic characteristics were the price and expiration date. Spanish consumers see packaged meat as convenient and safe, although it is considered by Brazilians to be over-manipulated. The traceability certification on the label provides credibility to the product for the Spanish but only partially for Brazilians. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 5.2 2022 FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 34 / 142 = 0.239 2022 Q1 T1 0.771 2022 Food Science 2022 Q1 Health Professions (miscellaneous) 2022 Q1 Plant Science 2022 Q1 Microbiology 2022 Q2 Health (social science) 2022 Q2 5.8 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Maza, María Teresa Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-2266-4655 Prado, Ivanor Nunes do Fiorentini, Giovani Kirinus, Jackeline Karsten Campo, María del Mar Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-8180-8663 5011 235 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
