Functional foods and nutraceuticals are foods/food components having physiological benefits along with basic nutritional functions. The Functional Foods and Nutraceutical Research Group aims at development based on bioactive and functional food ingredients and their formulation for new product development for targeted nutrition across the lifespan. Additionally, the key research themes of this group are firstly to positively manipulate food products to enhance and investigate the bioavailability of micro-nutrients and other components of foods, secondly to elucidate the role of these foods/components in the prevention and treatment of chronic illness. Finally, the focus is also put on maintain a dynamic scientific environment and aims to develop techniques necessary to evaluate new ingredients, functional and bioactive compounds and improve understanding of the relationship between food, health and consumer understanding and acceptance.
