Most fortificated nutraceutical vitamins: standpoint from biochemistry, functionality, utilization strategies and medical genomics

Abstract

Nutraceutical vitamins are micronutrients of foods and beverages that play an essential role in food science and technology. Most fortificated vitamin A, E, D and folic acid as antioxidative defence system components and that of with gene regulation functions have been considered. Up-to-date scientific overview of the biochemistry, functionality, utilization strategies and human genomics of above-mentioned most fortificated nutraceutical vitamins were emphasized

Keywords

• Nutraceutical vitamins, vitamin A, E, D, Folic acid
