Functional foods are foods that give therapeutic benefits to hosts in addition to nutrition. Dairy foods and ingredients in general and fermented milk products in particular are well recognized for their nutritional and therapeutic attributes and as functional foods. The market of functional foods, in particular fermented milk products, is expected to triple in next five years world over because fermented milks possess many advantages like easy production, better keeping quality and nutritive value, easier digestibility, pleasing flavour and taste as well as strong therapeutic potentials.
