| • Nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals are | | | | International emerging markets 146 |
| related in that both are types of compound that | | | | The science driving the future foods market 148 |

| and are used either to fortify other food products | | | | Nanotechnology 149 |

| are taken as dietary supplements in the form of | | | | Chapter 7 Appendix 152 |

| • New food and drink regulations were | | | | Figure 1.1: Different types of medical food and |
| introduced in Europe in 2006 and have been | | | | their uses 22 |
| generating uncertainty and frustration throughout | | | | Figure 1.2: The health and nutrition sector 32 |

| claims, as well as health claims for emerging and | | | | Figure 1.4: The role of food and pharmaceuticals in |

| regulator has rejected a large number of the | | | | Figure 1.5: End products for nutraceutical |
| applications reviewed to date (September 2009) | | | | ingredients 35 |
| and has missed a number of deadlines, suggesting | | | | Figure 2.1: Danone's sales figures by business line |
| that the overall process may take much longer | | | | and sales region (2008) 50 |
| than expected. | | | | Figure 3.1: Technologies for nutraceutical product |
| • FDA regulations are generally regarded as | | | | development at Kerry Group 75 |
| less stringent than those in the EU. Nevertheless, | | | | Figure 3.2: Defining Danisco's Bioactives and |
