Functional Food Center Achievements

Founded in 1998 with the goal of aiding in research, development, and commercialization of functional food innovations, the Functional Food Center (FFC) has connected and facilitated a global network of professionals collaborating towards making functional foods viable.

Notably, the FFC has formulated a working and useful definition of functional food, as well as having  published over 40 books, 11 textbooks, and two active, peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journals on functional food advancement.

The FFC hosts international conferences, featuring leaders in the field of functional food from all around the world. The 32nd International Conference will be held from October 2-4th, 2024 in the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, San Diego, California, USA.
