The Functional Food Center (FFC) is the leading organization in the world for evaluating functional food products and educating public in Functional Food Science. The primary goal of the FFC is to educate physicians, health professionals, researchers, scientists, students, and the public on the health benefits of functional foods and food bioactive compounds to increase their knowledge in this specific field of science. For these reasons, FFC organizes annual international conferences, publishes textbooks and research articles, as well as writes informative newsletters promoting these events and accomplishments.
Since 1998, FFC has hosted 27 international conferences around the globe, upheld an open-access journal for more than 7 years, published more than 30 books including 7 textbooks on functional food science and establishing the Academic Society of Functional Foods and Bioactive Compounds (ASFFBC) with more than 3,000 scientists.
