**4. Design of functional Food**

#### **4.1 Conservative foodstuff**

Conservative foodstuffs are those foodstuffs that contain regular or whole-food components and provide functional constituents for example antioxidants, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. A healthy diet contains more bioactive complexes and less dangerous constituents like pollutants, metabolites, insecticides, and fertilizers. Organic food helps to maintain a balanced lifestyle and reduces the risk of unindustrialized products. The purpose of these foods is to improve the nutritional quality [20].

#### **4.2 Functional Foods - Phytochemicals and Health Promoting Potential**

In this recent era, industrialized foods are more likely to be used as compared to traditional due to its easy making and availability. Dry and fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans and sages are the predictable beneficial functional foods that contains bioactive substances that are beneficial and show positive effects on health [21]*.*

#### **4.3 Cheered nutrition**

"Food protection" denotes that the accumulation of nutrients content is high as compared to the original food. Food protection is also called as the accumulation of nutrients to overcome the need for nutrients during food processing. Food fortification is usually done at the industrial level but also possible in homes [22].

The deficiency of micronutrients can be resolved with the consumption of adequate functional food which is useful for the improvement of human health. At global scale it is needed to improve micronutrient shortage, nutritional configurations, invention and advertising of potential foodstuff and functional food management domains [23]*.*
