Cover Story: Tomato-based snack bars enriched with pea and RuBisCO proteins represent an innovative approach to functional foods, combining sustainability with health-promoting potential. Functional foods are increasingly valued for their ability to go beyond basic nutrition, providing bioactive compounds that help prevent chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and inflammation-related diseases. Snack bars, due to their practicality and versatility, are ideal carriers for such compounds and align with consumer demand for ready-to-eat products. Inspired by the Mediterranean diet, these formulations incorporate natural antioxidant-rich ingredients, while plant proteins like pea and RuBisCO offer both nutritional quality and sustainability. This work explores their functional properties, highlighting their role as promising tools to support healthy diets. View this paper
