“…The promotion of local utilization of these regional foods, as well as the development of new marketable local products, can play a major role in strengthening rural development, creating business opportunities, and reducing poverty. Finally, this scenario could contribute to reinforce agrifood systems and the sustainable development of agriculture [ 49 ].…”

Objective The present study aims at evaluating trends and determinants of socioeconomic inequalities in consumption of bioactive compounds in representative sample of the Brazilian population the period from 2008–2009 to 2017–2018. Methods Data from two cross-sectional population-based surveys were analyzed in the study, using descriptive analysis and estimation of inequalities in consumption. Trends in polyphenol and carotenoid intake were estimated using food consumption data from National Dietary Survey (NDS) 2008–2009 (n = 34,003) and 2017–2018 (n = 46,164). Evolution and determinants of inequalities in bioactive compounds intake were identified using analysis of inequality based on concentration index. Results Consumption of total polyphenols, phenolic acids, flavonoids and carotenoid classes (except for zeaxanthin) was significantly associated with per capita income after adjustment for potential confounders, being higher income associated with higher intake of bioactive compounds. Disaggregation of inequalities showed that education was the main factor associated with consumption of flavonoids, other polyphenols and β-cryptoxanthin in 2008–2009; whilst income was the main barrier to intake of polyphenols and carotenoids in 2017–2018. Conclusion Income level and educational attainment have been important determinants to inequalities in bioactive compounds intake in the Brazilian population throughout the period of analysis, being higher intake of bioactive compounds-rich foods and beverages associated with higher income.
