“…The present results corroborate the percentage of the relative participation of food in the food purchases determined by Household Budget Surveys in the geographic regions of Brazil, which showed that the Northeast region has the highest percentage of sucrose consumption, while the South region has the lowest index (Brasil, 2009). Probably, the differences between regions are due to the family income, once the low price of refined sugar (sucrose) and the industrialised sugar‐sweetened products facilitates the consumption of sweetened foods by low‐income families, who are more prevalent in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil (De Souza et al ., 2013).…”

“…Other studies on food consumption in Brazil (Brasil, 2009; De Souza et al ., 2013; Cavalcante et al ., 2017) have shown that the different income levels of the population in the regions have a great impact on the consumption of sugar and industrialised products containing sugar in its composition. In the Northeast region, in recent years, there has been an increase in the population income with a consequent increase in the consumption of food outside the home, leading to a reduction in the purchase of sugar, and a higher intake of industrialised products containing sugar (Cavalcante et al ., 2017).…”

Summary Passion fruit is the fourth most consumed fruit by the Brazilian population, especially in the form of juice, usually associated with the addition of sucrose. This study aimed to evaluate the ideal sucrose concentration, and its impact on the consumer's acceptance of passion fruit nectar, sweetened with non‐caloric sweeteners as sucrose replacers in five Brazilian geographic regions. The acceptance scores evaluated by anova and Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference test indicated that sucralose‐sweetened samples were the most accepted, with no differences from the sucrose‐sweetened sample (P < 0.05), with a positive purchase intention in the five regions studied (>50%). However, differences in the acceptance scores were observed for the other sweeteners among the regions. Despite the difference in the sweetness perception among the Brazilian geographic regions, it may not be the only determining factor in the acceptance of passion fruit nectar sweetened with non‐caloric sweeteners.

“…According to the UN food balance sheet data, the New Zealanders, on average, consume about 147 g/day (37 teaspoons) of sugar [31]. Souza et al [32] showed that in 2002, 12.2 kg of granulated sugar and 6.1 kg of refined sugar per capita per year were consumed in Brazil. Considering a total of 18.3 kg and dividing this by 365 days corresponds to a consumption of 50.2 g of sugar per day [32], higher than the median values for the population of our study.…”

Low-Income Population Sugar (Sucrose) Intake: A Cross-Sectional Study among Adults Assisted by a Brazilian Food Assistance Program

2019

Non-communicable diseases are increasing worldwide, and it has been known that sugar intake is associated with health implications. Studies show that sugar consumption is high among the low-income population. In Brazil, there is a Food Assistance Program to offer inexpensive and healthy meals to the low-income population, aiming to improve their health. However, no study has evaluated either the amount of sugar consumption by the Brazilian low-income population or its distribution among the consumed products. This work aimed to analyze the sugar (sucrose) consumption by the Brazilian low-income population. We carried out a cross-sectional and descriptive study to evaluate the typical customers of a popular restaurant (PR) in Brazil (a Brazilian Food Assistance Program for low-income people). In the final sample, 1232 adult PR customers were surveyed. The exclusion criteria were pregnant women, diabetics, or people following any special diet with sucrose restrictions. Individuals were selected at lunchtime while they were in line waiting to collect their meal. Invitations to participate occurred to the first person in line, then the 15th person, and this pattern was used until the sample was completed. Three-day 24 h recall was used to evaluate sugar consumption. Sociodemographic and anthropometric data were collected to allow profiling of the customers. A statistical analysis of the data with descriptive nature (frequency, mean, median, percentage, and standard deviation) was performed to characterize the sample. For all the analyses, statistical normality tests were performed (Kolmogorov–Smirnov) to verify the statistical test assumptions. The mean total energy value (TEV) over the evaluated three-day period was 1980.23 ± 726.75 kcal. A statistically significant difference was found between income groups (p < 0.01). The North and Northeast region presented the lowest mean income in Brazil, statistically different from the South (p < 0.01) and the Southeast (p < 0.01). The North region presented the lowest sugar intake from industrialized products—different from the Northeast (p = 0.007), the Southeast (p = 0.010), and the South (p = 0.043). Also, the North presented the lowest consumption for food prepared at home among other regions (p < 0.001). Total sugar (sucrose) intake did not differ according to body mass index (p = 0.321). There was no significant difference in sugar (sucrose) consumption among the three days (p = 0.078). The addition of sugar (sucrose) contributed to 36.7% of all sugar (sucrose), and sweetened beverages with 22.53%. Food prepared at home contributed 20.06% and industrialized products 22.53% of the sugar (sucrose) intake. Therefore, free sugar (sucrose) consumption is still the largest contributor to the total consumption of sugar (sucrose), followed by sweetened drinks, especially during the weekend. The average percentage of sugar (sucrose) intake is above the World Health Organization recommendation to consume less than 5% of the total energy that comes from sugars. Since this population presents a high percentage of overweight and obese, the sugar (sucrose) consumption could increase health implications, increasing the costs for public health.

“…Of this amount, US$ 10.90 million (nearly) correspond to sugar sales made by the mills used as raw material for industrialized products and retail sales of sugar in natura 3 . In this regard, Brazil is the world's largest producer and exporter of this product 4 . Sugar is used in a variety of foods, ranging from confectionery to flavoring in meats (hams, bacons, sausages and salamis).…”

During sugar production, contamination of the sugar by potentially toxic metals may occur. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methods to quantify these contaminants. Analytical method for monitoring of lead in sugar samples was developed with the use of homogeneous ternary system of solvents and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Ternary system was optimized using multivariate experiments and the best condition was: 10% water, 80% ethanol and 10% methyl isobutyl ketone. As the complexing agent, monosodium 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol used. Considering the Brazilian standard, the lead concentration should not exceed 2.00 mg kg -1 , thus, it's concluded that the values obtained were not within the norm for this metal.
