Folate:
from food to functionality and optimal health
FOLATE
FUNC HEALTH started in February 1999 and finished in July 2004.
The project was co-ordinated by Paul Finglas at the Institute
of Food Research, funded by the European Union under the Quality
of Life Programme, one of the four thematic programmes of the
Fifth Framework Programme (http://www.cordis.lu/life/home.html).
FolateFuncHealth
brought together both consumer and commercial interests with an
overall aim to provide folate-rich and enriched-foods with specified
and scientifically-verified consumer benefits for optimal bioavailability,
function and health. Independent nutritional scientists, biochemists,
clinicians and food technologists worked together with industry
to achieve this goal.
