Special Issue on Functional Foods & Nutraceuticals

Most food is considered functional in terms of providing nutrients and/or energy to sustain life, but Functional Foods & Nutraceuticals (FFN) are defined dietary foods that prevent or reverse a diseased state. Increasing public awareness of the link between diet and health has propelled the consumption of these foods to unprecedented levels, particularly in countries where the population is aging and health care costs are rising.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring functional foods & nutraceuticals. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Functional foods
• Nutraceuticals
• Enriched foods
• Dietary supplements
• Health-promoting additives
• Functional ingredients in food
• Challenges and opportunities
• Development of functional foods and nutraceuticals
• Regulations and health claim

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Functional Foods & Nutraceuticals” should be selected during your submission.
