2. intro
Functional food is a food with certain beneficial
effects on one or more target functions in the
body beyond the basic nutritional effects with a
result the improved health state and well being
or reduction of risk of diseases. It is consumed
as a part of a normal diet and is not used in
the form of pill or capsule or any other form of
dietary supplemen
3. history
The first definition of functional foods has been
established in Japan. In 1991, the Japanese
law entered the work definition “foods for
specified health use” (FOSHU) which allowed
the first health claims on the food labeling
6. Functional Foods Can Be –
• conventional foods containing natural bioactive
substances (example: oat betaglucan, rich fruit and
vegetables in lycopene and lutein).
a food in which a component has been added;
• foods that have been modified by enrichment with
bioactive substances (example : margarine with
phytosterol added, calcium fortified orange juice, folic
acid-rich pomegranate, energy drinks with ginseng and
guarana)
• foods for special dietary use (examples: gluten-free
foods, lactose-free products, infant food).
7. How food can be functional ?
A food can become functional by using any of the
following ways:
eliminating a component that causes harmful effects
when consumed (eg allergenic proteins).
increasing the concentration of a natural component
present in the food up to a point where it can induce
beneficial effects (eg, fortification with a micronutrient to
increase daily intake over recommended).
8. addition of a component which is not normally present in
many foods and which is not necessary as a macro- or
micronutrient but for whose beneficial effects it has been
used (e.g., non-vitamin anti-oxidants i.e. the hydrophilic
polyphenols plus the their glycosides or prebiotic
fructan).
Replacing a component, usually macro-nutrient (fatty
acids) that is excessive with a component with beneficial
effects (modified starch).
increasing the bioavailability or stability of a recognized
component for its functional effects or reducing the
potential risk of the disease.
10. milk and dairy products as
functional foods
dairy Products are generally considered an excellent
source of high quality protein,calcium , vitamins
riboflavin ,niacin, vit.B-6,vit.B-12 ,organic acids,
biologically active components .eg
yogurt
Usually made from milk (rarely, from cream) inoculated with
Streptococcus thermophilus and either Lactobacillus
acidophilus or Lactobacillus bulgaricus.
Turkish in origin
11. Benefits of yogurt
Constipation
Diarrheal diseases
Colon cancer
Inflammatory bowel diseases
Allergies
12. Cheese
Cheese
Cheese is a very good source of protein and calcium. It is also a
good source of phosphorus, iodine and selenium.
calcium role
maintaining the strength and density of bones
Help protect colon cells from cancer-causing chemicals
Help prevent the bone loss that can occur deu to menopause or
rheumatoid arthritis
Help prevent migraine headaches in those who suffer from them
Reduce PMS symptoms during the luteal phase (the second half) of
the menstrual cycle
13. Seafood products as functional
foods
Fish is an important dietary constituent of several population
groups, it serves as rich source of
high quality proteins, vitamins, minerals and lipids, besides
being the largest source of n-3 series polyunsaturated fatty
acids, especially the eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and
docosahexaenoic (DHA), which bring several benefits to
human organism .
14. fishes rich in (n-3) fatty acids
salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines and herring
15. SEAFOOD –NUTRITIONAL
BENEFITS
High quality protein
High in omega-3 fatty acids
Low in saturated fat
Contributes to a healthy heart
Contributes to proper growth and development of
children
Source of vitamins and minerals
17. Oat products as functional foods
Cereals are the rich source of energy, protein, carbohydrate, B-
complex vit. and minerals. • Also a rich source of phytate (salts of
Ca, Mg, and K) and phenolic acid (antioxidant, anticarcinogenic
activity)
• Oats (Avena sativa) are a cereal commonly eaten in the form of
oatmeal or rolled oats.
• Oats are loaded with dietary fiber (containing more than any other
grain) and have a range of healthy cholesterol-lowering properties.
• Active ingredient of oat is soluble fiber (1-3) (1-4)-B-D-glucan
18. Health benefits
• Oats may reduce the risk of coronary artery disease.
• Oats may help lower the risk of colorectal cancer.
• Oats may help lower blood pressure.
• Stabilizes blood sugar and reduces risk of diabetes.
• Oats Help Control Blood Pressure.
