“…The consumption of phenolic acids estimated in this research (314 mg/day) was similar to that of the Spanish population (304 mg/day) and smaller than that of France, Finland and the one found in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study that analyzed the consumption of 10 European countries (639 mg/day, 641 mg/day and 512 mg/day, respectively) 21,[34][35][36] . Coffee was the primary responsible for the intake of phenolic acids in Brazil, it also had the largest contribution to the consumption of this class in the cohorts of Spain, France, Finland and in the EPIC study.…”

“…The average consumption of phenolic compounds of Brazilian population (460 mg/day) was lower than that found in the population of Spain (820 mg/day), Finland (863 mg/day) and France (1193 mg/day) [34][35][36] . The Spanish and French studies used the same database that the present research, while the Finnish performed the dosage of the compounds by HPLC, as well as it used secondary data for the quantification.…”

“…Regarding flavonoids, the consumption of the Brazilian population (138.92 mg/day) was lower than that of Spain (443 mg/day) 34 , France (512 mg/day) 36 and of the EPIC study (372 mg/day) 37 and similar to that of the United States (189.7 mg/day) 38 . The main food sources for the intake of this class were fruits in the two European countries 34,36 and tea in the US 38 , while in Brazil legumes were the most important.…”

“…In Spain, the group of fruits was the largest contributor (43.9%) followed by non-alcoholic beverages (23.4%) and vegetables (12.6%) and in France it was observed that the major sources were non-alcoholic beverages (55.1%), fruits (17.2%) and alcoholic beverages (8.2%). As regards the individual food sources, coffee was the main contributor to the intake of phenolic compounds in Brazil (40.9%), as well as in Finland (63.3%), France (43.5%) and Spain (18%) [34][35][36] .…”

A B S T R A C T ObjectiveEstimate the intake of phenolic compounds by the Brazilian population. MethodsTo estimate the average per capita food consumption, micro data from the National Dietary Survey and from the Household Budget Survey from 2008 to 2009 was analyzed. The phenolic content in food was estimated from the base of Phenol-Explorer. It was chosen according to compatibility and variety of food items and usual method of preparation. ResultsThe Brazilian population consumed, on average, 460.15 mg/day of total phenolic compounds, derived mainly from beverages (48.9%), especially coffee and legumes (19.5%). Since this analysis of classes of phenolics it was possible to observe an intake of 314 mg/day of phenolic acids, 138.92 mg/day of flavonoids and 7.16 mg/ day of other kinds of phenolics. Regarding the variables studied this present study shows that those men who live in the countryside and in the northeastern region of the country had a higher consumption of phenolic compounds. Besides, consumption was higher by adults and the elderly, the medium income classes, the population with incomplete and complete primary education and those with adequate nutrition and also overweight status. ConclusionThe intake of phenolic compounds can be considered low, especially where consumption of fruit and vegetables is insufficient. We can conclude that coffee and black beans were the best contributors to phenolic intake.
