In recent times, there has been growing recognition of the key role of foods and beverage in disease prevention and treatment. Rapidly increasing knowledge on nutrition, medicine, and plant biotechnology has dramatically changed the concepts about food, health and agriculture, and brought in revolution of them. Research currently underway at academic, industry and government facilities will reveal how a myriad of substances can be used  as functional food components. Thus natural bioactive compounds include a broad diversity of structures and functionalities that provide an excellent pool of molecules for the production of nutraceuticals, functional foods, and food addives. This review attempts to display about research and development of functional beverages and designing functional beverages and the formula for beverage success.Keywords: designing, functional beverages, lessons learned, highlighting, research and development.

Over the last decade the concept of functional foods and nutraceuticals (FFN) has gained support from various stakeholders including the food industry, scientific and academic community, government institutions or regulators, producers and consumers. However, as one begins to evaluate the global FFN industry, several issues emerge including (i) a lack of consensus across jurisdictions for acknowledging safe and efficacious FFN, (ii) challenges regarding the classification of novel food-derived bioactives as FFN or drugs, and (iii) a disconnect between nutrient requirements and dosages of FFN required to facilitate health benefits. The objectives of the present review are to discuss the role of existing stakeholders within the FFN marketplace and identify performance indicators for growth within the FFN sector. In addition, the following report provides feasible resolutions to present and future challenges facing the global FFN industry to ensure sustained long-term growth.

This chapter presents an overview of various complementary nutritional approaches for the management of brain disorders. Numerous epidemiological studies emphasize the growing burden of brain disorders worldwide. Due to the complex pathophysiology, lack of precise diagnostic and therapeutic options, there is growing need to have alternative approaches. One important strategy for the prevention and treatment of brain impairment is based on dietary supplements, functional foods, and nutraceuticals. The current chapter illustrates various aspects of available nutritional products for the brain disorder. Considering the recent surge in the nutritional products and as it destined to play an important role in future, existing regulatory framework is explained here which ensures purity, safety, and efficacy of the marketed products.

Inflammation within the genital organs in women is an important problem in gynecology and venereology. Understanding the factors contributing to the inflammatory process and the role of defense mechanisms against their occurrence is important in terms of prevention and treatment. The importance of pre and probiotics was also discussed. It has been proven that the use of probiotics, prebiotics and symbiotics in the diet has a beneficial effect on many body functions. Functional food including an important role in the prevention of inflammation in gynecology. The mission of the medical community, in addition to treatment, should be an emphasis on informing parents, teachers and adolescents and indicating sources of reliable knowledge on topics related to health promotion (including the promotion of a proper diet, physical activity, hygienic lifestyle), which also significantly affects the prevention of inflammation, including sexually transmitted diseases.
