Necessity of Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods in Modern Food Industry
- 1. Necessity of Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods in Modern Food Industry Presentation by Anu K Mathew (13T02B)
- 3. 2000 B.C “Eat this root.” 2000 A.D “That antibiotic is artificial. Eat this root.”
- 6. “A naturally occurring chemical compound having a physiological benefit or provide protection against chronic disease, isolated and purified from food or non-food source and may be prepared and marketed in the food- format of granules, powder, tablet, capsule, liquid or gel and may be packed in sachet, ampoule, bottle, etc and to be taken as measured unit quantities.”
- 7. • Naturally occurring Chemical compound Physiological benefit Isolated and purified from food or non-food source Prepared in the food-format of granules, powder, tablet, capsule, liquid or gel Packed in sachet, ampoule, bottle, etc. Taken as measured unit quantities
- 8. The American Nutraceutical Association “Products that have been isolated or purified from food and generally sold in medicinal form not usually associated with food.”
- 9. Foods and food components that provide a health benefit beyond basic nutrition (for the intended population).
- 10. Bioactive Compounds of Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods and their Health Benefits
- 11. The naturally occurring chemical compounds contained in, or derived from, a plant, animal or marine source, that exert the desired health/wellness benefit.
- 12. Probiotics and Prebiotics Proteins and Peptides Carbohydrates and Fibres Lipids and Fatty Acids Catechins (Proanthocyanides) Lycopene Vitamins
- 13. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can be found in various foods. Prebiotics are non-digestible foods that make their way through our digestive system and help good bacteria grow and flourish. Prebiotics and probiotics can restore the balance of bacteria in our digestive tract.
- 14. Examples: Lactobacillus Bifidobacterium Sources: Yoghurt Curd Sauerkraut Health Benefits: Anti oxidative properties Cholesterol lowering properties Humeral and cell-mediated immunity
- 15. Examples: Oligosaccharides Fructo-oligosaccharides Sources: Fruits Legumes Whole grains Benefits: Nutritional ingredients that benefit health Help in the growth of good bacteria in the digestive system
- 16. Proteins are long-chain polymers of amino acids while peptides represent the shorter forms. They act as indigestible substances in our digestive tract, trap and expel toxins and bile, thereby reducing the re-absorption of cholesterol from the large intestine.
- 17. Proteins
- 18. Peptides
- 19. Proteins can be converted into peptides during digestion and are then absorbed into the blood circulatory system.
- 20. Dairy Whey Proteins Boost natural immunity Reduce the severity of muscle tissue degeneration associated with liver diseases Reduce susceptibility to diarrhoea β-lactoglobulin, α-lactalbumin and serum albumin reduces the risk of cancer Promote weight loss
- 21. By reducing leptin (fat burning hormone) resistance, making the body more responsive to this hormone.
- 22. By blocking the release of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite.
- 23. Anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties Blood pressure lowering effects Cholesterol lowering ability Anti-thrombotic effects Enhancement of mineral absorption in the gut
- 24. One of the three major macro-nutrients which supply the body with energy. Optimum level of carbohydrates may help to prevent body fat accumulation. Low glycemic index foods help to regulate blood glucose levels. Fructose oligosaccharide and galactose oligosaccharide fortified infant formulas support the developing of immune system of neonates.
- 25. Two types of fibres are found in food Soluble fibres Insoluble fibres
- 26. Dissolve in water Help lower blood cholesterol Reduce the risk of developing diabetes Found in beans, fruits, and oat products
- 27. Do not dissolve in water Passes directly through the digestive system Help lower blood cholesterol Reduce the risk of developing diabetes Cellulose and hemicelluloses reduce the caloric value of diets, which is important in diabetic and obese conditions Found in beans, fruits, and oat products
- 28. Fish Oil Rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are the main Omega-3 fatty acids. DHA incorporated into margarine and baby foods enhance brain memory; a role in reducing the severity of Alzheimer’s disease. Reduces blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. Reduce prostate tutor growth.
- 29. Other important omega-fatty acids are linoleic and linolenic acids. Increased cardiovascular benefits. Abundant in fish oil, vegetable oils, and nuts. Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) Positively impact human health. Found in dairy products and meat products.
- 30. Abundant component in green tea. Strong antioxidants. Inhibit damage to DNA and reduce cancer development. Inhibit damage to blood vessels and reduce cardiovascular diseases.
- 31. Contains high level in cranberry juice. Prevent adhesion of bacterias and viruses to the urinary tract. Cranberry concentrate tablets and juice consumption reduce antibiotic requirements in woman having urinary tract infection.
- 32. Abundant in tomatoes. Also found in brightly coloured fruits such as papaya, watermelon, pink guava, and pink grapefruit. Neutralise Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that damages DNA and promote cancer formation. Reduce blood-pressure in hypertensive patients by reducing plaque development.
- 33. B Vitamins, particularly folate, gives protection against cancer, heart disease and birth defects. Folic acid fortification have a positive effect on the incidence of neural tube defects. Vitamin C has antioxidant properties and reduce risk of cataracts. Vitamin D prevent osteoporosis. Vitamin E gives protection against heart diseases.

- 35. Pharmaceuticals work only after the onset of diseases Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods plays important roles in prevention and retarding progression of diseases Offer effective risk factor modification in those with existing diseases
- 36. Nutraceuticals Available in the Market
- 37. Z-Trim Component - Wheat Function - Zero Calorie Fat Replacer
- 38. Linumlife Component - Lignan Extract Flax Function - Improves Prostate Health
- 39. Teamax Component - Green Tea Extract Function - Potent Antioxidant
- 40. Clarinol Component - Conjugated Linoleic Acid Function - Weight Loss Ingredient
- 41. Health Statistics in India and the World and the Need for Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods
- 42. 0 3 7 10 13 Ischaemic Heart Disease Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Stroke 12% 11% 9% Source: WHO Report
- 43. Nutraceutical Market Overview Present Status and Future Prospects
- 44. The nutraceutical industry in India is about USD 2.2 billion. Mainly focused in the southern region, followed by the eastern region with three major states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.
- 46. $160. 6 Billio n $171. 8 Billio n $241. 1 Billio n 0. 62.5 125. 187.5 250. 312.5 2013 2014 2019 Global Nutraceutical Market
- 47. Largest individual consumer of nutraceuticals
- 48. Second largest individual consumer of nutraceuticals
- 49. Expected to be the largest consumer of nutraceutical ingredients by 2020
- 50. Nutraceuticals may be beneficial to our health but we are still learning about their benefits and possible harmful effects. Government regulatory bodies also face challenges in this new category of health products, which lies between foods and drugs. Health professional, nutritionists and regulatory toxicologists should strategically work together to plan appropriate regulation to provide ultimate health and therapeutic benefit to mankind.
