Description Besides the application of classical nutrition principles and practices in aquatic nutrition, nutritional
biotechnology in general is also gaining momentum. The areas where a beginning has been made
are, functional foods or feeds, application of phytases, bio-floc technology and nutrigenomics.
Functional food or medicinal food is any healthy food claimed to have a health-promoting or
disease-preventing property beyond the basic function of supplying nutrients. The general category
of functional foods includes processed food or foods fortified with health-promoting additives, like
“vitamin-enriched” products. Fermented foods with live cultures are considered as functional foods
with probiotic benefits. Functional foods are an emerging field in food science due to their increasing
popularity with health-conscious consumers. The term was first used in Japan in the 1980s where
there is a government approval process for functional foods called Foods for Specified Health Use
(FOSHU) (Wikipedia).
