REPRESENTATIVE COMPONENTS OF FUNCTIONAL FOOD SCIENCE

Abstract

The International Life Science Institute (ILSI) Task Force on Data Gathering has collected and organized information on nine bioactive components in food. Information on bioactive components in tea (epigallocatechin gallate), soy (genistein and daidzein), cabbage family vegetables (isothiocyanates), and tomato (lycopene) is summarized in the abstract. The full report of the committee will be published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition.

Presented at the Experimental Biology 98 Symposium, San Francisco, California. Sponsored by the International Life Sciences Institute, NA Technical Committee of Food Components for Health Promotion.
