The global market for functional food products is estimated at between US$10 billion and US$30 billion and is expected to double by 2010. This book provides a much-needed review of important opportunities for new products from many perspectives including from those with in-depth knowledge of as-yet unfulfilled health-related needs. It also features case studies that illustrate real product development and commercialization histories. It is intended for use by practitioners in functional food companies and food technology centres and will also be of interest to researchers and students of food science.
