Functionality of Food Components and Emerging Technologies

Foods, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 10(1), P. 128 - 128

Published: Jan. 8, 2021

This review article introduces nutrition and functional food ingredients, explaining the widely cited terms of bioactivity, bioaccessibility, bioavailability. The factors affecting these critical properties components are analyzed together with their interaction preservation during processing. Ultimately, effect emerging (non-thermal) technologies on different (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, minerals, vitamins, polyphenols, glucosinolates, aroma compounds, enzymes) is discussed in spite preserving properties. Non-thermal can maintain bioavailability components, improve technological properties, increase recovery yields from agricultural products. However, optimization operational parameters vital to avoid degradation macromolecules oxidation labile compounds.

As media reports have noted, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated market mainstreaming of immune-boosting food bioactives, supplements, and nutraceuticals. However, most studies reporting on potential bioactives against transmission been uploaded as preprints with little opportunity to revise content for benefit impact. The current review discusses best evidence information underpinning role ingredients bioactive compounds in supporting immune functions humans animals, specifically prevention treatment disease. Up now, some from randomized population clinical trials suggested that vitamin D levels may be linked severity.

Currently, there is no effective vaccine for tackling the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 with occurrence of repeat waves infection frequently stretching hospital resources beyond capacity. Disease countermeasures rely upon preventing person-to-person transmission SARS-CoV2 so as to protect front-line healthcare workers (HCWs). brings enormous challenges in terms sustaining supply chain single-use-plastic personal and protective equipment (PPE). Post-COVID-19, changes medical practice will drive high demand PPE.
