Abstract

The ocean’s rich biodiversity is not just a source of good food but also holds special compounds that make marine products more than just nourishment – they become functional foods. Bioactive peptides from fish protein and marine polysaccharides like algal fucans offer various health benefits, including preventing blood clots, fighting cancer, and lowering cholesterol. Exploring the relationship between food and health, “nutraceuticals” describes substances in food that bring health benefits. These natural compounds, distinct from synthetic drugs, target specific diseases with improved effectiveness. The nutraceutical market, valued at $250 billion in 2014, is expected to reach $18 billion by 2025, influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic’s second wave. The growing global demand for nutraceuticals, set to hit $385 billion by 2020, is driven by competitive pricing and effectiveness compared to traditional therapies. Leading contributors to this market are the USA, Europe, and Japan, with marinederived nutraceuticals like seaweed-based products, omega-3 fish/algal oil, and fish proteins playing a crucial role. In India, the expanding middle class, dealing with lifestyle-related health concerns, fuels double-digit growth in the nutraceutical market since the early 2000s, contributing to global expansion.
