Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods

The world of nutrition has evolved beyond traditional concepts of simply meeting dietary requirements. Nutraceuticals and functional foods are at the forefront of this evolution. In this track, we examine the role of these innovative food products in promoting health and preventing diseases.

Nutraceuticals encompass a broad range of bioactive compounds found in food or derived from food sources. These compounds offer potential health benefits, often beyond basic nutritional needs. Functional foods, on the other hand, are designed to have specific health benefits beyond their basic nutritional value. This track will explore the development and efficacy of novel functional food products, with a focus on their impact on public health and wellness.
