INTRODUCTION:

Functional foods and smart proteins are key nutrition innovations,offering health benefits and addressing sustainability concern.

Functional Foods: Definition and benefits.

Functional Foods : provide health benefits beyond nutrition;containing
Bioactive compounds like vitamin and probiotics.
Health impact: Reduce chronic disease risk (eg.heart disease, diabetes) and enhance digestion and immunity

Examples:
1). probiotic yogurt : Improve gut health
2).Fortifies foods:
3).Address nutrient deficiencies with added nutrition and benefits
4).Omega 3 Foods: Support heart health and reduce inflammation

Smart proteins : Definition and sustainability.
Smart proteins: Sustainable protein sources that reduce environmental impact (eg.emission ,water use.)

Types of smart proteins:
i)Plant based proteins.
ii).Cultured protein
iii).Inspected proteins
iv).Alage/Fungi Proteins
TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS:
BIOTECHNOLOGY: Precision Fermentation Creates animal-Free Proteins.
CONCLUSION:
Functional foods and smart proteins are revolutionizing nutrition, addressing global health sustainability,and ethical food challenge
