Abstract(s)
Os sumos detox são uma nova tendência alimentar associada à perda de
peso e a um estilo de vida saudável. São constituídos por frutas e hortícolas,
alimentos naturalmente ricos em antioxidantes, compostos bioativos e
vitaminas, cujo consumo está associado à redução de fatores de risco de
doenças crónicas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a perceção dos consumidores
relativamente aos efeitos na saúde associados ao consumo de
sumos detox. Foi desenvolvido e aplicado um questionário online a 285 indivíduos
com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 84 anos. Os resultados
obtidos indicaram que a maioria da população inquirida já ouviu falar
em sumos detox e considera que estes não constituem uma boa opção para
substituir refeições, embora lhes associe diversos benefícios. Relativamente
aos benefícios nutricionais dos sumos detox, os inquiridos destacaram a
sua riqueza vitamínica (80,7%), o seu poder de hidratação (61,4%), a sua riqueza
mineral (57,9%) e seu teor de fibra (52,6%).
