Abstract : Functional foods are intended to offer health advantages in addition to needed nutrients. They efficiently prevent numerous diseases due to their mineral, vitamin, probiotic, bioactive, and fiber content, and they may increase quality of life. Probiotic strains are said to provide health benefits to humans when taken in sufficient quantities. As a result, there has been an increase in producing functional foods incorporating probiotic microorganisms in recent decades. Functional foods contain chemicals that may reduce the risk of specific diseases or otherwise improve health. The specific components are found naturally in functional foods or are added through fortification or enrichment.

Keywords : Functional Food, Bioactive Compounds, Health Benefits, Obesity, Probiotics.
