Functional Food Technology, with a specific focus on Functional Food, delves into the advanced field of food microbiology, encompassing the gut microbiota and fermentation processes. Additionally, it explores contemporary food processing technologies, evidence-based functional foods such as antioxidants and bioactive compounds, and the glycemic index. Analytical sciences, sensory evaluation methodologies, product development, human nutrition, modern disease assessment, and clinical studies constitute key areas of concentration. Ultimately, this specialisation emphasises the correlation between functional food and health outcomes.
