There is a growing interest in the health benefits of functional foods and nutraceuticals, focusing on bioactive compounds and their roles in disease prevention and health promotion. - Impact of COVID-19 on Dietary Habits:
Research examining the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on dietary habits and food security has surged, showcasing how global crises influence consumer behavior and nutrition. - Sustainable and Local Food Systems:
An increasing emphasis on sustainability and local food sourcing is evident, with research exploring the nutritional and health benefits of locally produced foods and the impact of agricultural practices on food security. - Plant-Based Diets and Alternatives:
The popularity of plant-based diets and alternative protein sources is on the rise, driving research into their nutritional implications, environmental benefits, and consumer acceptance. - Food Safety and Health Regulations:
Recent trends indicate a heightened focus on food safety regulations and consumer awareness regarding food labeling, additives, and the health implications of food choices.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Nutritional Practices:
Research on traditional dietary practices has decreased, possibly due to the growing interest in modern nutritional science and dietary trends, overshadowing the importance of indigenous food knowledge. - Micronutrient Deficiency Studies:
Although still relevant, studies specifically focused on micronutrient deficiencies have become less prominent as broader dietary patterns and holistic nutrition approaches gain traction. - Food Packaging Innovations:
The emphasis on innovative food packaging technologies has diminished, likely due to the saturation of research in this area and a shift towards more pressing topics such as sustainability and food waste.
