There is no standard definition for nutraceutical ingredients globally, and the definition of ‘nutraceuticals’ differs according to region and industrial application. Therefore, for the purpose of this study, nutraceutical ingredients are defined as nutritional, bioactive, or functional ingredients used to provide nutritional value or health-related benefits in human and animal nutrition products. The scope includes ingredients derived from plant, animal, microbial, mineral, and synthetic sources and covers applications such as dietary supplements, functional foods, functional beverages, medical and specialized nutrition, infant and early-life nutrition, companion animal nutrition, livestock nutrition, and aquaculture.
The term “nutraceutical” was coined by Stephen L. DeFelice in 1989 by combining the terms “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical.” DeFelice defined a nutraceutical as a food or part of a food that provides medical or health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease.
