Nutraceutical ingredients in food and beverage chemicals refer to bioactive compounds derived from natural sources that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. These ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids, and plant extracts, are incorporated into functional foods and beverages to promote wellness, prevent diseases, and enhance overall health. They bridge the gap between food and pharmaceuticals, offering therapeutic effects while being consumed as part of a regular diet. Examples include fortified drinks, protein-enriched snacks, and antioxidant-rich superfoods. The demand for nutraceutical ingredients is growing due to increasing consumer awareness of health and wellness.
