Functional foods, nutraceuticals, and natural health products (NHP) represent one of the fastest growing areas of research and development leading to novel products intended for disease prevention and health promotion beyond basic nutrition. In brief, functional foods have health-enhancing properties in addition to normal nutritional benefits.

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €1.6M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2012-11-01 to 2015-10-31.
