It is predicted that in the future the majority of foods will qualify as Nutraceuticals. This is due to the fact that increasing number of people are getting interested in the role of nutrition in promoting a better quality of life and longer life expectancy. Key areas of interest are the prevention of diseases such as cancer, heart disease and dementia, and memory and energy enhancement.
SCRD's present area of research in this field is on Fiber. We are also focusing on nutrients that are associated with Cancer treatment, Alzheimer treatment, etc, whose research potential can be researched to give science a more concrete solution.
