Now or in the future, the characteristics of functional foods are the diversity of finished products and the diversity of ingredients. Some of these ingredients are classified as nutrients, affecting changes in body function related to health or reducing disease risk. Therefore, the definition of functional food has not been fully and universally accepted.

 

Internationally, functional food cannot be a single entity with clear characteristics Large-scale research on functional foods in Europe began with the "Nice" conference in 1996. Many well-known food companies and international academic authoritative experts have held several seminars on "functional foods" in the European branch of the International Life Sciences Society (ILSI) and ILSI successively. They have reached a basic concept accepted by the public: "If a food In addition to having suitable nutrition, it can be beneficial to one or more functions of the human body, and it can be called functional food if it has enough nutrition to improve health or reduce disease."

 

In my country, all foods have certain functions

 

The research of functional foods in my country started relatively late and is called "health functional foods". With reference to the definition of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) in 1995, the health (functional) food is defined in the 1996 Ministry of Health document No. 46 "Health Food Management Measures" as: "Health food (Healthfood) means "to regulate physiological activities" , Foods whose main purpose is to promote health. Foods with specific health functions are foods that are suitable for specific people to eat, have the function of regulating the body, and are not intended to treat diseases. "

 

The consumption level of functional foods is gradually increasing

 

Functional food is an industrialized food that emphasizes that its ingredients can fully display the body's defense function, regulate circadian rhythm, prevent disease, and promote recovery.

 

Functional foods are in the shape of foods, not capsules or powders; natural ingredients, but can be non-natural concentrates or substances that are not normally eaten as food; as part of the daily diet such as beef dietary fiber, chicken dietary fiber   and dietary fiber in french fries, it is safe to take without professional guidance; with promotion, the role of health, rather than simply supplementing the role of nutrients, this role usually appears on the label or promotion.
