Abstract
The introduction of infant formulas created a new age in infant feeding practices. With the introduction of infant formulas, it became a great ambition to create a more adapted product, as the composition of breast milk is gold standard for infant feeding. In this paper, it was aimed to review the rationale and concerns of the use of newer infant formulas, supplemented with pro-, prebiotics, nucleotides, and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, in order to help pediatricians for their choice. However, it should always be kept in mind that whatever can be achieved with these formulas, they will always be inferior to breast milk.

Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
