Nutrients Webinar | Functional Foods and Sustainable Health, 31 January 2024
Functional foods have become a growing trend worldwide due to consumers’ demand for foods with health-promoting effects as well as manufacturers’ interest in a rapidly growing market. The inclusion of functional foods in a balanced dietary plan may have an impact on the prevention and management of diseases, and consequently it can support health sustainability and economic growth.
The Special Issue “Functional Foods and Sustainable Health” aims to highlight the use of functional foods for the prevention and management of chronic diseases and healthy aging, as well as the underlying mechanisms connecting functional foods/ingredients with beneficial effects on target body functions.
In the context of this Special Issue, this webinar aims to discuss different aspects of the research in the field of functional foods, including the following:
- Ethical issues and concerns with the use of animals in food science;
- Practical issues for the bioactivity assessment of functional foods during nutritional interventions/clinical trials;
- Generation of novel food products using functional ingredients.
