Lipids
and fats are regarded as important components of foods and may
perform essential role in reducing the risk of diseases and promote
good health. Functional lipids can be defined as functional foods
which are consumed as a part of usual diet and have ability to impose
physiological benefits and reduce the risk of chronic disease beyond
basic nutritional functions. There has been growing interest in the
functional food in the recent past years within the food industry and
from the consumers due to their expanded capability to prevent the
body against developing certain types of diseases. Foods including,
fruits, vegetables, grains, fish and dairy products are extensively
studied for their natural health benefits and contribute towards
benefits beyond those of basic nutrition. This includes functional
foods with modified components such as yogurt with reduced or
eliminated levels of fat content, or yogurt enriched with
phytosterols. Other examples includes, juices with replaced or
enhanced antioxidant content in order to improve the overall function
of the product.
