Résumé :

Increasing consumer awareness of the connexion between diet and health has stimulated research on active components in foods and on probiotics. However, significant development of market sectors based on such awareness will not occur until precise claims can be made, based on solid scientific evidence in support of the beneficial effects attributed to the foods or to novel ingredients thus developed.
