Book excerpt: Functional food is defined as food that is taken as part of the usual diet and has beneficial effects that go beyond traditional nutritional effects. So far this functionality is mainly created during the industrial processing of the food through the addition of bio-active ingredients. Over the last years functional food has gained an increasing market share and the health claims made on food have recently been regulated at the EU level. It is therefore pertinent to analyse the potential market for functional food and its likely future development. It is also important to understand consumer attitudes and expectations regarding functional food, and the competitiveness of the different approaches to confer functionality in terms of their respective cost-effectiveness needs to be clarified. There is considerable uncertainty regarding the size of the market for functional food, both within the EU and globally. Estimates of the global functional food market from various sources and different years fall into a range of EUR 25-60 billion. A recent, lower-bound estimate indicated a size of EUR 6.4 billion for the EU market. By far the biggest market share is still occupied by dairy products and beverages - followed by cereals only as a distant third category. In terms of bioactive ingredients plant extracts are used more frequently, although - due to the large number of dairy products - probiotic bacteria cultures clearly dominate, followed by prebiotics. On the demand side a survey in four selected Member States of the EU showed that many grocery shoppers were not familiar with the term "functional food", although, when given some examples, most of them had already bought such products. Better nutrition knowledge was thereby correlated with a more positive attitude towards functional food and female, younger and richer respondents were more likely to buy functional food products. Concerning reasons for purchasing functional foods, surveyed customers considered important that functional food helps them stay healthy and well; yet the taste and the general food quality was also very relevant in their answers. Regarding research in the field of functional food, the output of public and private entities within the EU - measured as scientific publications - is larger than that of either the USA or of Japan. Finally, one field that is policy-relevant and has so far received hardly any attention in research is the cost-effectiveness of functional food as public health intervention. Yet, tentative comparisons with similar approaches suggest that food-based approaches may indeed offer a cost-effective way of addressing health problems

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulation of Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals: A Global Perspective offers a comprehensive resource for information on regulatory aspects of the growing and economically important functional food industry. Regulatory systems and definitions of key terms-food, supplement, drug, etc-vary from country to country. A thorough understanding of laws and regulation within and among key countries with regard to functional foods, herbal extracts or drugs, and nutritional supplements is critical to the direction of food companies that are developing products for these markets. International experts with legal and/or scientific expertise address relevant topics from quality issues, to organic foods to labeling. Innovative product development within the framework of existing regulations will be addressed in individual chapters. Overview chapters will discuss global principles, inter-country trading issues, and present a comparison of the laws and regulations within different countries graphically. A "must-have" handbook for research professionals, management, and marketing strategists in the worldwide functional foods/nutritional supplements business. Food technicians and engineers responsible for manufacturing quality in this industry should add it to their library to ensure that they have a thorough knowledge of the applicable legal requirements. The book will also serve as an indispensable shelf reference for lawyers in the food industry and government health professionals with regulatory responsibilities.

Download or read book EU Food Law written by K Goodburn and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-06-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given its fragmented development, EU food law can be seen as both complex and confusing. With its distinguished team of contributors, EU food law highlights the key issues so those non-specialists can understand the legislation and what it means for them. It is designed to help readers ask the right questions when developing and marketing products in the European Union, and to provide answers to those questions. The book begins with an overview of the development of EU food law, and then describes the main institutions involved in framing food legislation and the legislative process. This discussion is designed to provide a context for the chapters on specific aspects of EU food law that follow. Part one there are a series of chapters on legislation controlling food safety, ranging from the way food products are manufactured (hygiene and the control of contaminants) to food composition and packaging (additives and food contact materials). Part two considers how EU food law ensures that consumers are properly informed about the food products they buy. There are chapters on labelling, nutrition information, the increasingly important area of health claims, and the handling of foods for particular nutritional purposes. Part three of the book contains two case studies illustrating how these various strands of EU food law impact in practice on a particular food product, looking at both an established food ingredient and the emerging area of functional foods. EU food law provides an authoritative introduction and guide to a complex subject. It will be widely welcomed by all those designing food products for and selling food products in the European Union.

Book excerpt: Consumer demand for foods with specific health benefits has increased the economic importance of developing, producing and marketing functional food. However, within in the European Union, this area of food law is harmonized to a minor extent only. Therefore, the economic operators face the difficulty of having to comply with national laws that might differ substantially from one Member State to another. This synopsis is aimed at facilitating the first approach to the legal framework of functional food within the European Union and selected other countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das steigende Interesse an dem Zusammenhang zwischen Ernährung und Gesundheit hat zu der Entwicklung sogenannter funktioneller Lebensmittel geführt, welche eine Komponente beinhalten, die einen positiven Einfluss auf die Gesundheit hat oder einer Krankheit vorbeugt. Um Unternehmen davon abzuhalten, irreführende Angaben über Lebensmittel mit Gesundheitswirkung aufzustellen, wurde eine neue Verordnung betreffend gesundheits- und nährwertbezogener Angaben erlassen. Der Forschungsschwerpunkt dieser Masterarbeit liegt darin, die Frage zu beantworten, welchen Einfluss die neue Health Claims Verordnung auf den funktionellen Lebensmittelmarkt in der EU haben wird. Der Forschungsansatz der gewählt wurde, war Experteninterviews durchzuführen, um spezielle Einblicke in den komplexen Markt der funktionellen Lebensmittel zu gewinnen. Die qualitative Forschung zeigt, dass die Rechtsvorschriften als innovationshemmend gesehen werde und Unternehmen davon abhalten können in den Markt einzutreten. Darüber hinaus wurde die sich ändernde Haltung der Konsumenten gegenüber funktioneller Lebensmittel und eine Präferenz für natürlichere Produkte erkannt. Der Markt für funktionelle Lebensmittel in der Europäischen Union verfügt über Wachstumspotenzial, wird jedoch höchstwahrscheinlich ein Nischenmarkt mit einer sehr spezifischen Zielgruppe bleiben. *****The increasing interest in the relationship between nutrition and health led to the development of so-called functional foods which contain a component that provides a positive health effect or prevents diseases. To deter companies from making misleading claims about foods and drinks with a health effect, a new regulation concerning health and nutrition claims was introduced. The focus of this master's thesis lies on the question which effect the new health claims regulation will have on the market of functional food in the European Union. The research approach that was chosen was to conduct expert interviews to gain specific insights into the complex market of functional food. The qualitative research showed that the legislation can be seen as inhibiting innovation and discouraging companies to enter the market. Moreover changing consumer attitudes towards functional food and a preference for more natural products was detected. The market for functional food in the European Union still has growth potential, however, it will most likely stay a niche market with a very specific target group.

Download or read book Functional Food Product Development written by Jim Smith and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-03-08 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to an August 2009 report from PricewaterhouseCoopers, the United States market for functional foods in 2007 was US$ 27 billion. Forecasts of growth range from between 8.5% and 20% per year, or about four times that of the food industry in general. Global demand by 2013 is expected to be about $100 billion. With this demand for new products comes a demand for product development and supporting literature for that purpose. There is a wealth of research and development in this area and great scope for commercialization, and this book provides a much-needed review of important opportunities for new products, written by authors with in-depth knowledge of as yet unfulfilled health-related needs. This book addresses functional food product development from a number of perspectives: the process itself; health research that may provide opportunities; idea creation; regulation; and processes and ingredients. It also features case studies that illustrate real product development and commercialization histories. Written for food scientists and technologists, this book presents practical information for use in functional food product development. It is an essential resource for practitioners in functional food companies and food technology centres and is also of interest to researchers and students of food science. Key features: A comprehensive review of the latest opportunities in this commercially important sector of the food industry Includes chapters highlighting functional food opportunities for specific health issues such as obesity, immunity, brain health, heart disease and the development of children. New technologies of relevance to functional foods are also addressed, such as emulsion delivery systems and nanoencapsulation. Includes chapters on product design and the use of functional ingredients such as antioxidants, probiotics and prebiotics as well as functional ingredients from plant and dairy sources Specific examples of taking products to market are provided in the form of case studies e.g. microalgae functional ingredients Part of the Functional Food Science and Technology book series (Series Editor: Fereidoon Shahidi)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses EU food law from a regulatory, economic and managerial perspective. It presents an economic assessment of strategies of food safety regulation, and discusses the different regulatory regimes in EU food law. It examines the challenges of food safety in the internal market as well as the regulatory tools that are available. The book’s generic theorising and measurement of regulatory effects is supplemented by detailed analysis of key topics in food markets, such as health claims, enforcement strategies, and induced risk management at the level of the organizations producing food. The regulatory effects discussed in the book range from classical regulatory analysis covering e.g. effects of ex-ante versus ex-post regulation and content-related versus information-related regulation to new regulatory options such as behavioral regulation. The book takes as its premise the idea that economic considerations are basic to the design and functioning of the European food supply arena, and that economic effects consolidate or induce modification of the present legal structures and principles. The assessments, analyses and examination of the various issues presented in the book serve to answer the question of how economic theory and practice can explain and enhance the shaping and modification of the regulatory framework that fosters safe and sustainable food supply chains.

Book excerpt: This major reference provides a comprehensive treatment of the physiological effects of foods and food components capable of promoting good health and preventing or alleviating diseases. It assembles, in one volume, extensive recent information on the nature and physiological effects of biologically-active components of major plant foods-cereals, oilseeds, fruits, and vegetables-and dairy and fish products. For the first time in any reference work, internationally renowned specialists discuss how to manufacture and evaluate food products with health enhancing effects, using both traditional and novel processing methods. Entire chapters are devoted to functional food products from oats, wheat, rice, flaxseed, mustard, fruits, vegetables, fish, and dairy products. The chapter on designer vegetable oils covers all the recent developments in vegetable oils, including genetically modified oils and engineering and production of structured lipids. Functional products from quinoa, amaranth, beans, ginseng, echinacea, and other botanicals are covered in separate chapters. An authoritative final chapter discusses the present regulatory status of functional foods in the U. S., Japan, Canada, and the European Union. This chapter also discusses the assessment of natural products for use in promoting human health and as medicinal agents, considers where the burden of proof lies for showing the effect of a food product on a physiological or biochemical process, and explores the costs of making health claim. This comprehensive volume serves the information needs of food scientists and technologists, food process engineers, biochemists, nutritionists, public health professionals, and entrepreneurs involved in the design, processing, and marketing of new functional food products. Anyone who believes in the need for real foods that combine nutritional and medical benefits and who believes that such foods can be produced, will find this book invaluable.
