The functional food concept constitutes a worldwide trend. That it is viewed very differently in the USA, Europe and Asia is clearly evident from the fact that there is no universally accepted definition of the term functional food . The following are some examples of the international definitions of functional food . [Pg.478]

While there is no harmonised definition of functional foods, a consensus on the functional foods concept was reached in the European Union in 1999 when a working definition was established whereby a food can be regarded as functional if it is satisfactorily demonstrated to beneficially affect one or more target functions in the body beyond adequate nutritional effects in a way that is relevant to either an improved state of health and well-being or a reduction of disease risk (Ashwell, 2002).

The functional foods and nutraceuticals market is one of the healthiest sectors in food industry, and is experiencing a continuous growth even in the context of an economic recession. However, to keep being successful, it is mandatory to assure the acceptance and awareness of consumers. The presence of many ingredients whose efficacy can be doubted can first mislead consumers and later compromise the credibility of the whole functional foods concept. [Pg.2514]

Central to the development of the functional food concept in Japan was the government s view that there might be limits to the cost-effectiveness of curative medicines in creating a healthier society. Assuming that the same underlying philosophy applies in other developed economies (and there appears to be no reason why it should not), it becomes important to consider the impact of various social trends on demand for functional foods. Social trends of particular significance are changes in population age profiles, life expectancy, the incidence of various medical conditions, and levels of health support. [Pg.6]

The functional food concept based on stearidonic acid is relevant due to the common use of blackcurrant seed oil (Ribes nigrum) and some other food-quality seed oils. Novel plant-breeding and development techniques should make it possible to produce oils with selected composition such as a canola oil with a high content of selected fatty acids (Kabakibi et al., 2001), but only when we know what we want. [Pg.284]
