Abstract

There has been a growing interest in functional foods (or nutraceuticals) in recent years and the functional foods, enriched with natural ingredients have been proved to provide beneficial action for human health. Marine derived bioactive components and the functional food ingredients demonstrated to possess health benefits. High value secondary bioactive metabolites from the marine organisms are attracting attention because of the growing demand for new compounds of ‘marine natural’ origin, having potential applications in pharmaceutical fields, and concerns about the toxic effects of synthetic drugs and their derivatives. There are about 391,000 species of vascular plants currently known to science.
