In the last three decades, revolutionary achievements have taken
place in nutraceutical and functional food research including the
introduction of a number of cutting-edge dietary supplements
supported by human clinical trials and strong patents. Novel
manufacturing technologies including unique extraction processes,
bioavailability improvements through delivery technologies such as
nanotechnology, and innovative packaging have been critical steps
for their successful positioning in the marketplace and consumer
acceptance worldwide. Nonetheless, mixed messages have emerged from
both the scientific community and the media concerning the
potential benefits of foods and nutrients in the treatment and
prevention of disease. This confusion, in addition to existing
marketed products making questionable health claims, have led
health practitioners and consumers to become skeptical about
nutritional claims of new and emerging food products. Clinical
Aspects of Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals provides an
extensive overview of the clinical aspects of functional foods and
nutraceuticals. It contains information on both nutritional
challenges and potential health benefits of functional foods and
nutraceuticals. In addition to exploring the underpinning science,
the book also focuses on food innovation, functional foods in human
health, food-drug interactions, functional foods in medicine, the
seed-to-clinic approach, global regulatory frameworks, challenges,
and future directions. The book provides an essential overview of
the clinical aspects surrounding functional foods and
nutraceuticals for key stakeholders, drawing links between areas of
knowledge that are often isolated from each other. This form of
knowledge integration will be essential for practice, especially
for policy makers and administrators.
