Abstract

Genetically modified (GM) foods have revolutionized agricultural biotechnology since their debut in the mid-1990s, sparking debates about their safety, environmental impact, and potential to solve global food security issues. This review offers a comprehensive look at the global status of GM foods, covering their development, various genetic modifications, and adoption rates across different regions. It delves into the regulatory frameworks that govern GM foods in major markets, noting the variations in regulatory approaches and strictness. The review highlights the benefits of GM foods, such as higher agricultural productivity, better environmental sustainability, improved food security, and enhanced nutritional value. It also addresses the ongoing controversies and challenges, including safety concerns, environmental risks, ethical questions, and public perception issues. Looking ahead, the paper considers the future of GM foods, focusing on advancements in biotechnology, possible changes in policies and regulations, and how GM crops can be integrated into sustainable agriculture practices. By providing a balanced perspective, this review aims to guide stakeholders in making informed, evidence-based decisions about the role of GM foods in addressing global food challenges.

Abstract

The increasing interest in nutraceuticals has spotlighted the potential of local foods as sources of health-promoting bioactive compounds. This narrative review explores the nutraceutical value of local foods, emphasizing the processing methods that enhance their health benefits. By examining a variety of indigenous food sources, we delve into the specific bioactive components they contain, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals. Advanced processing techniques, including fermentation, encapsulation, and enzymatic treatments, are discussed for their roles in maximizing the bioavailability and efficacy of these compounds. Furthermore, the health impacts of these nutraceuticals are analyzed, focusing on their potential to prevent and manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. This review underscores the importance of leveraging local biodiversity to develop sustainable and effective nutraceutical products, offering insights into future research directions and applications in the nutraceutical industry. By integrating traditional knowledge with modern processing technologies, the potential of local foods as nutraceuticals can be fully realized, contributing to both public health and local economies.
