Formulations, Regulations, and Challenges of Nutraceuticals
Formulations, Regulations, and Challenges of Nutraceuticals focuses on various novel micro- and nanocarriers being employed in the formulation and delivery of nutraceutical ingredients to increase their efficacy, bioavailability, safety, and stability. It also highlights the current challenges and future strategies for the development of novel nutraceuticals and functional foods with enhanced health benefits. The focus is on the formulations and regulations.
As compared to traditional drugs, there are no minimal regulations on nutraceutical products, which make them more market friendly. Since nutraceutical ingredients have no defined regulations at global level, they are not considered as medicine or therapeutic agents. Some countries have devised their own guidelines for regulating the usage of nutraceuticals, either as pharmaceutical ingredients or as food supplements. This volume addresses the need for common regulatory guidelines with important research on the production of stable and efficient nutraceutical formulations. The numerous regulatory frameworks being employed in Asia and European regulatory agencies in commercialization of nutraceutical products produced by manufacturing companies are discussed.
Chapters examine the factors affecting the stability of nutraceuticals in food and gut environments by stressing the results generated from in vitro and in vivo studies and suggests good manufacturing practices to be followed for the development of nutraceuticals.
Formulations, Regulations, and Challenges of Nutraceuticals will be valuable for upper-level students, faculty, nutraceutical researchers and practitioners, regulatory agencies, and those involved in the production and development of nutraceutical products.
