This volume provides a valuable overview of the current science and technology of functional beverage manufacture. Chapters focus on the major functional drink categories and ingredients, examining their functionality and the health claims associated with them. Background information on sources, availability, analysis and processing is also provided. As well as summarising the relevant research studies, the book gives an overview of the market as a whole and an insight into potential future trends. Explanations will be given of the regulations defining what health claims can be made, restrictions on labelling and advertising, and how to make new claims. The regulatory systems in both Europe and the USA are addressed. The book is directed at food scientists and technologists, product developers and marketers working in the beverage industry. It will also be useful for government regulators, academic researchers and students with an interest in functional drinks.
