Development of value-added functional food productsp p– the global market of functional food industry will reach 176.7 billion USD in 2013 with a compound annual growth rate of 7 4%billion USD in 2013 with a compound annual growth rate of 7.4%
– developed with scientific tools of the 21st century, foodproducts capable of specific elimination of causative targets of endemic diseases will conquer international food markets
