Este estudo teve como objetivo aprofundar o conhecimento relativamente à perceção e escolha de alimentos ricos em compostos bioativos, por parte do consumidor. A recolha de dados foi feita de forma anónima atravÊs de um questionårio preenchido online, tendo sido analisadas 1185 respostas de adultos portugueses. Os resultados mostraram uma associação positiva forte entre a escolha de alimentos com compostos bioativos e a frequência de consumo de frutos (Phi=0,203, p<0,001) e vegetais (Phi=0,238, p<0,001), reforçando assim as evidências de que consumidores mais preocupados com uma alimentação saudåvel são os que adquirem produtos alimentares com compostos bioativos. Foi ainda observada uma associação moderada (Phi=0,105, p=0,001) entre a frequência de consumo de vinho tinto, uma importante fonte de (poli)fenóis, e o conhecimento de compostos bioativos. Fatores sociodemogråficos como a idade e a educação estão tambÊm associados à escolha de alimentos com compostos bioativos.

Sociodemographic factors such as age and education level were also positively associated with the choice of foods with bioactive compounds.
