DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8dzsbk/probiotics_and_hea) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Probiotics and Health Claims" to their offering.
Probiotics have long been at the forefront of the functional food industry, but it is only recently that their health benefits have begun to be demonstrated. These recent findings have helped to provide a scientific basis for establishing health claims relating to food products. At the same time, the need for objective regulation of these claims has become more imperative. Today, health claim regulations are subject to intensive discussions in public as well as by experts, and new legislative developments have been implemented in the European Union, the Americas, Australia and New Zealand, India, China and Japan.
Probiotics and Health Claims brings together world-renowned experts to discuss the very latest developments, requirements and assessment procedures in health claims relating to probiotics. The authors' comparative approach places special emphasis upon understanding the various legal contexts found internationally. This is combined with cases and examples of best practice in both research and business, to create a realistic view of the effect of health claims on probiotic products. Special topics, including the parts played by meta-analysis, pediatrics, SMEs and innovation, illuminate an area of scientific research and industrial enterprise which will only continue to grow i importance in the years to come.
The book is aimed primarily at food developers and scientists working in food, health and nutrition, but is also ideal for researchers, consulting experts and policy-makers who need to compare the legal and regulatory systems used around the world. The readership may also include nutrition professionals, physicians and teachers.
