Consumers are increasingly interested in the health benefits of foods and have begun to look beyond the basic nutritional benefits of food to the disease prevention and health enhancing compounds contained in many foods.
Functional foods, by definition, contain bioactive compounds that have proven physiological benefits. Bioactive compounds are the naturally occurring chemical compounds contained in, or derived from, a plant, animal or marine source that exert a desired health/wellness advantage.
Canadian companies are focused on extracting the bioactive compounds of functional foods or incorporating functional ingredients into new products (nutraceuticals).
