Beyond flavour: How to choose a functional snack?
Keywords:
Functional snacks, Protein, FiberAbstract
Fast food snacks have become an essential part of a fast-paced lifestyle, and snacks offer a practical alternative with the potential to nourish, satisfy, and promote metabolic health. This article examines functional snacks, explains key concepts such as digestibility, absorption, and bioavailability, and discusses the legal regulations governing food labeling claims. It analyzes how to choose snacks beyond marketing claims, focusing on protein and fiber content and, moreover, advances in food science, to make more informed choices in the food sector.
