Özet

This research was done in order to identify the level of probiotic products consumption of university students with the help of randomly chosen 315 female and 275 male students - totally 590 students - who are studying at Namık Kemal University in 2011-2012 spring terms. 61.7% of the participants know the probiotic products, 71.4% of the female students and 50.5% of the male students know the probiotic products. It was found that there was an important relationship between gender and probiotic product knowledge ((?2) = 27.094; P < 0.05). 42.2% of the participants consume probiotic products, 47.3% of the female students and 36.1% of the male students consume probiotic products. There is an important relationship between gender and probiotic product consumption ((?2) =7.522; P<0.05). 38.5% of the participants do not consume probiotic products because they don’t believe that they are healthy, 32.1% of the participants find them tasteless, 11.2% of the participants believe that they are harmful, and 18.2% of the participants find them healthy but expensive. In this aim, it was aimed to call attention to probiotic products, give information about their benefits to students and increase their consumption. © 2015, National Centre for Agrarian Sciences.
