Abstract
Novel Applications in Nutrition and Food Science: Fortificated Vitamins and Polyphenols of Innovative Industrial Foods and Nutraceuticals
The necessity of fortificated bioactive vitamins carotenoids, and polyphenolic compounds (flavonoids etc.) has been accelerated the development of innovations in the food industry, generating the so-called “functional foods” and “nutraceuticals“; these are primary importance for human nutrition. Novel processing applications may influence the quality and effectiveness of mentioned nutrients ; bioactives in processed foods can undergo to loss or increasing after storage and transportation.
Novel non-thermal technologies (e.g. ultrasounds, high-hydrostatic pressure-HHP, pulsed electric field-PEF) promise to treat foods without decomposing the nutritional constituents and sensorial properties that are normally affected during heat treatment. The implementation of novel technologies together with other trends and practices of the food industry (containing microencapsulation, food waste recovery, food by product based powders) have been brought new developments and state of the art in the industrial foods field.
