Objective
Current consumers' belief about diet and specific bio-nutritional substances can help ward off chronic disease and improve quality of life, is creating an entirely new demand and a lucrative market for health-promoting fortified foods called "functional foods". Today, all benefit health compounds as for example vitamins consumed by an individual are in product from of tablets, liquids or capsules. This form of administration has several drawbacks such as high cost, low stability and unknown degree of bioavailability. In addition due to the medicinal image, smell and flavour, some groups reject those products. It is therefore in the public interest that nutraceuticals should be supplemented in a widely available, non-expensive form. The solution proposed in this project consists in developing a food-grade matrix in which the nutraceuticas are incorporated thanks to the utilisation of a new ultrasonic spray-dryer, and that should serve as an ingredient added to widely consumed food products as bread and in further step milk derivate products as yoghurts.
