Abstract
In the past few years, we have seen many people rejudge their attitude to health, diet and wellbeing and increased awareness among people. More than ever before, consumers are relating their dietary habits with their health. As such, the need for functional foods – foods with improved nutritional properties that provide health benefits such as reduced fatigue and enhanced immunity – continues to grow. This shift to more health-conscious food and drink represents a significant step towards good health.
