Research has shown that numerous dietary bioactive components that are not considered essential may still be beneficial to health. The dietary reference intake (DRI) process has been applied to nonessential nutrients, such as fiber, yet the majority of bioactive components await a recommended intake. Despite a plethora of new research over the past several years on the health effects of bioacti...

due to poor solubility in lipids, many of bioactive components (nutraceutical materials) show less bioactivity than optimal state in water solution. phytosomes improve absorption and bioavailability of biomaterials. liposomes, spherical shaped nanocarriers, were discovered in the 1960s by bangham. due to their composition, variability and structural properties, liposomes and phytosomes are extr...

Food waste, a by-product of various industrial, agricultural, household and other food sector activities, is rising continuously due to increase in such activities. Various studies have indicated that different kind of food wastes obtained from fruits, vegetables, cereal and other food processing industries can be used as potential source of bioactive compounds and nutraceuticals which has sign...

background: woodfordia fruticosa is used traditionally as antidysenteric compound for fodder animals. stem and flower extracts are previously flourished for their antibacterial activity. leaves are also equally important, which are preliminary screened for their bioactive components in present study. objective: evaluation of antibacterial activity of leaves of w. fruticosa and detection of thei...

Personalizing nutrition for cancer prevention and therapy will require a comprehensive understanding of "genotypes/phenotypes" in order to identify, evaluate, and prioritize appropriate points for dietary intervention. This nutritional preemption roadmap must begin with accurately assessing intakes/exposures of which bioactive food component(s) is needed to bring about a desired response in cri...

In recent years, peptides have spurred increased interest as one of the most important classes bioactive food components [...]
