This book explores the different types of functional foods, both naturally occurring and designer foods. Sections on key chemical components are included, as are discussions on how these compounds interact as part of different foods. Finally, sections on what functional foods represent for the consumer, health and safety issues, as well as legislation and potential risks with functional foods are covered. With a well-rounded approach, the book aims to raise points for consideration and discussion, and to challenge both supporters and antagonists of the role of functional food in health.
