Functional food: plant biotechnology and genomics
2001
Javornik, B. (Ljubljana Univ. (Slovenia). Biotechnical Fac., Agronomy Dept.)
Plants form the basis of the human food chain and their characterisation is therefore crucial to ensure sufficient quality human food. The aim of the present paper was to present some aspects of plant functional food in view of the past knowledge and success of plant biotechnology and future advances of genomics. Knowledge of the genomes of different organisms and the expansion of genomics provide new approaches in studies of organisms. Early research has shown that genomics will change our view of nutrition and help us understand how food affects our health and well-being. This scientific knowledge will lead to new functional foods that take into account the general health status of individuals, the enhancement of physical or mental performance and the prevention of specific diseases through health-adapted foods.
