Presente y Futuro de los Alimentos Funcionales

Presente y Futuro de los Alimentos Funcionales

Abstract

La relación alimentación y salud fue reconocida por la medicina china (1.000 años a.C.) y el sabio griego Hipócrates (hace 2.500 años) decía “Que tus alimentos sean tu medicina y los medicamentos tu alimento”. Actualmente se dispone de evidencias científicas sobre la relación entre la alimentación y la salud, particularmente en riesgos cardiovasculares, algunos tipos de cáncer y otras enfermedades degenerativas (Bruna et al., 2009; Iyer y Tomar, 2009; Shahidi, 2009; Sirtori et al., 2009). Para tratar de incidir en esa relación se puede acudir a los alimentos saludables naturales y a otros alimentos de diseño específico como son los alimentos funcionales. En las sociedades industrializadas, donde una gran parte de la población tiene cubiertas las necesidades nutricionales mínimas, el consumidor a los alimentos no sólo les pide nutrientes y sabor, sino una posible mejora para la salud o una reducción de riesgos de enfermedad. Así surgen este tipo de alimentos en cuyo desarrollo tiene interés el consumidor, en consecuencia la industria pretende su comercialización y los investigadores tratan de obtener resultados que avalen desde el punto de vista científico posibles beneficios para la salud. Es importante destacar que el concepto general de alimento funcional se sustenta sobre la base de conocimientos en nutrición y salud y que de forma aislada no pueden curar ni prevenir enfermedades, pero pueden complementar unos hábitos dietéticos saludables.
