Functional foods, fortified with bioactive compounds, offer health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Despite their potential, challenges such as compound instability, scalability issues, and regulatory gaps exist. This commentary explores their role, market dynamics, and future trends, emphasizing the need for ongoing research and effective regulations.

Abstract In nature, cellulose is present in fibrillar structures with alternative crystalline and amorphous fragments. The application of various chemical treatments (acid hydrolysis, enzymolysis, and oxidation) could lead to the extraction and purification of crystalline compartments in the form of cellulose nanocrystals. On the other hand, applying harsh mechanical treatments (milling, ultrasonication, high‐pressure processing, grinding,…
Abstract Fruits and vegetables are essential for human health, providing superior nutritional benefits while contributing to a sustainable approach that mitigates the impact of climate change. However, their high moisture content makes them highly perishable, leading to significant postharvest losses. As a result, extending their shelf life and maintaining quality are critical challenges that require…
Abstract The quantitative determination of major enzyme activities in postharvest fruit is a necessary biochemical experiment to investigate the physiological and metabolic mechanisms of fruit ripeness, senescence, and stress responses. However, it is necessary to choose appropriate methods to stably extract and determine target analytes from complex plant matrices due to the dynamic changes in…
Abstract Onion is an important economical and nutritional vegetable crop having a global demand. However, the long‐term storage and availability of quality produce during off seasons remain a constraint. The intricate process of quality degradation in onions, both pre and postharvest, is influenced by internal factors and storage conditions. To preserve the postharvest quality and…
