Methodological proposal base on the work of Bruno Munari y Gui Bonsiepe for the development of functional foods

Abstract

The functional food market is in global growth as there are more and more companies engaged in food development that help improve or prevent a health problem. This has led the authorities of different countries to pay more attention to the development and advertising of such foods and to pass legislation to take care of the consumer. The countries that are most advanced in this area are Japan, the United States and the European Union. In this article we analyze 25 articles published between 2000 to 2016 with the purpose of identifying the processes of planning, design and implementation and from that to elaborate a methodological proposal for the creation of functional foods. Specifically with this methodology inspired by the work of Bruno Munari and Gui Bonsiepe seeks to reduce the times of development of this type of food and increase their chances of success in the market.
