Concepts of Functional Foods is a good introduction to this subject. It covers: functional foods and health; the consumer; examples of functional food components; and technology in the development of functional foods.

This is a very easily read and understated brief overview on functional foods, which could be of use to students of nutrition as well as consumer science and marketing.
