Editat de Surajbhan Sevda, Meena Krishania CHOUDHARY
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 oct 2026
This edited volume explores the concept of functional foods, which are foods that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. These foods contain bioactive compounds that can help reduce the risk of disease or promote better health. The text is interdisciplinary, integrating knowledge from nutrition, food science, medicine, and biotechnology. The book discusses different bioactive components such as polyphenols, carotenoids, and omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to the health benefits of functional foods. It discusses future trends in the functional food industry, emphasizing innovations in biotechnology and food science to develop more effective health-promoting foods. The book provides scientific research on how these bioactive compounds work in the body. The role of functional foods in personalized nutrition and how consumers are seeking health benefits tailored to their individual needs is explored.
The future of functional foods will be shaped by scientific advancements, regulatory changes, and consumer demand for healthier food options.
