Functional foods categorizing

America - pork as a raw material is much more important for sausages than the meat of ruminants (Leroy, Verluyten, De Vuyst, 2006). These products with improved nutritional profiles can be categorized as functional foods, as their health-preserving and nutritive values exceed those of conventional products (Decker Park, 2010). 

The consumer demand on the functional foods increases as they promote the gut health and decrease the risk of diseases. The functional foods are categorized into three groups based on their mechanism of action as probiotics, prebiotics, and biogenics (Mitsuoka, 2002). The chitooligosaccharides can also be applied as functional foods in the food industry as they have the capacity to act as a... 

The contribution of serotonin to specific human behaviors remains uncertain. Serotonin has been postulated to contribute to temperament or personalty traits such as harm avoidance (Cloninger, 1987) or behavioral inhibition (Soubrie, 1986), or to categorical dimensions such as OCD (Barr et ah, 1992), anxiety and fear (Charney et ah, 1990), or depression (Grahame-Smith, 1992), as well as to satiety for food consumption. It is possible that separate components of serotonin neuronal systems (i.e., different pathways or receptors) are coded for such specific behaviors. However, that may not be consistent with the neurophysiology of serotonin neuronal function. 

Research pertaining to the composition and structure of SB carbohydrates is ongoing, but is not yet as mature as research on proteins and lipids. Nevertheless, in this chapter, the available literature on SB and SBM carbohydrates is reviewed and categorized. Soybean and SBM carbohydrates are discussed based on their functionality in the plant (nonstructural or structural), and their value as feed or food ingredients. 

Paper-based microfluidic sensor has the advantages of low cost, portability, and disposability compared to conventional microchips with glass substrate. Based on paper sensor platform, quantitative analysis of multiple analytes is achieved for disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and food inspection. Paper-based microfluidic sensors can be categorized into two families (1) On-demand sensor is an un-pretreated device and requires surface chemical deposition that depends on the type of test sample. (2) Functional sensor has been preloaded with reagents on the detection region and it is ready for immediate test for specific analytes.
