A critical issue in improving the level of food safety is an integrated approach of controlling the safety of food during the entire food chain i.e. right through farm to the consumer’s table, but little is known about the characterization of safe food, the nature of food safety hazards, the establishment of acceptable hazard levels, the strategy of food safety improvement and the methods for valuating the improvement. The increasing incidences of foodborne diseases and its resultant social and economic impact on the human population have brought food safety to the forefront of public health concerns. The considerable increase of illness caused by consuming unhygienic food in both developed and developing countries has provided substantial impact on financial costs besides causing health hazards. This has necessitated the need for the development and introduction of new food safety standards and regulations to reach a higher level of food safety.","PeriodicalId":331573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128878542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They provide nutritional security in addition to food security. They supplement carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals which are essentially required for good health. They are also valued for their medicinal importance in improving digestion, reducing chronic diseases etc. As per the standard laid down by the Indian Council of Medical Research, the recommended per capita per day requirement of fruits are 100g. But the actual consumption of fruits accounts for 88g per day per capita.1 The demand for processed food is increasing rapidly with increasing urbanization. Among the processed foods, bakery products command wide popularity. Baked products, especially bread and biscuits form an important part of Indian dietary. These products are rich in starch, fat and energy but depleted of fiber. Various epidemiological studies have shown that diet lacking in fiber may be the cause for various gastrointestinal and cardiovascular diseases.2 Bread occupies an important place in baking industry in the total Indian market for bakery products. It is consumed by majority of population all over the world as a part of daily diet and is equally popular in urban and rural regions. The production of bread in India is 9.58lakh tones and its estimated growth rate is 9.7% per annum. However, to sustain the growth, the industry needs to diversify its products.3 ‘Functional foods’ are the food components that benefit health beyond the basic nutrition.

Isolation is done to obtain pure bacterial cultures. Pure culture is essential in the study of the morphology, physiology, biochemical characteristics, and susceptibility to antimicrobial agents of a particular bacterial strain.1 The formulation of the dietary supplements, functional foods or herbal products into marketed medicinal products is known as “nutraceuticals”; a term which combines “nutrition” and “pharmaceuticals”.2 Among various nutraceuticals of major importance in diseases prevention is probiotics.3 Probiotics are live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a beneficial health benefit on the host.4 Probiotics can be delivered commercially either as nutritional supplements, pharmaceuticals or foods. A large number of probiotic products are available in the market in the form of milk, drinking and frozen yoghurts, probiotic cheeses, ice creams, dairy spreads and fermented soya products. Also, special freeze-dried pharmaceutical dietary preparations are available in the form of tablets.5 Together with prebiotics, probiotics are often consumed as functional foods, demonstrated to be effective for the treatment or control of several diseases. Prebiotic substances, such as lactulose, lactitol, xylitol, inulin and certain non-digestive oligosaccharides, selectively stimulate the growth and activity of, for example, bifidobacteria in the colon (Zubillaga and Roberfroid, 2010).
