"e;Functional food or medicinal food is any fresh or processed food claimed to have a health-promoting and/or disease-preventing property beyond the basic nutritional function of supplying nutrients, although there is no consensus on an exact definition of the term.This is an emerging field in food science, in which such foods are usually accompanied by health claims for marketing purposes, such as a company's 'cereal is a significant source of fiber. Studies have shown that an increased amount of fiber in one's diet can decrease the risk of certain types of cancer in individuals.'Functional foods are sometimes called nutraceuticals, a portmanteau of nutrition and pharmaceutical, and can include food that has been genetically modified. The general category includes processed food made from functional food ingredients, or fortified with health-promoting additives, like "e;vitamin-enriched"e; products, and also fresh foods (e.g., vegetables) that have specific claims attached. Fermented foods with live cultures are often also considered to be functional foods with probiotic benefits."e;

Since the publication of the ?rst edition in 1981 and the second edition in 2001, this textbook has been widely adopted for Food Engineering courses worldwide. The author expresses his gratitude to colleagues who have adopted this textbook and to those who have made constructive criticisms on the material. This new edition not only incorporates changes suggested by colleagues, but additional material has been added to include facilitated problem solving using a computer, and new food processing and food product technologies. New sections have been added in most of the chapters re?ecting the current state of the technology. The expanded coverage may result in not enough time available in a school term to cover all areas; therefore, instructors are advised to carefully peruse the bookandselectthemostappropriatesectionstocoverinaschoolterm. Theadvantageoftheexpanded coverage is the elimination of the need for a supplementary textbook. The success of this textbook has been attributed to the expansive coverage of subject areas speci?ed intheInstituteofFoodTechnologistsmodelcurriculumforfoodsciencemajorsintheUnitedStatesof Americaandtheuseofexamplesutilizingconditionsencounteredinactualfoodprocessingoperations. Thisthemecontinuesinthethirdedition. Inadditiontotheemphasisonproblemsolving,technological principles that form the basis for a process are presented so that the process can be better understood and selection of processing parameters to maximize product quality and safety can be made more effective.
