Speech Title: Application of phytochemicals from plant materials

Abstract: Researches carried out all over the world in recent decades have demonstrated that some phytochemicals extracted from plant materials such as fruits and vegetables by modern technologies exert some health-keeping functions. However, practical application of these compounds is still impossible in most cases as crucial data like appropriate dosage have not yet precisely determined for human beings to benefit from them. Nevertheless, food technologists would not like to wait any longer to take the advantage of these compounds as food materials or additives for producing daily food with some desired effects. Feasible suggestions regarding the present situation on the application of these compounds have been posed based on detail analysis and discussion on status quo of the phytochemical research results.
