Abstract
Functional foods are a modified food or food ingredient that provides a health benefit beyond satisfying
traditional nutrient requirements. The development of functional foods are those foods fortified with
vitamins and/or minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid, zinc, iron and calcium. Functional
foods could help in prevention and/or management of obesity and type 2 diabetes and could involve food
products that help management of ‘hunger’ or increase ‘satiety’. The selection of best source of nutrients
for the incorporation, inclusion and replacement is very important at the same time to evaluate the
optimum level of inclusion of source materials for development of functional meat products is also
important. Since the meat and meat products are low in dietary fibre there are many research have been
done in the aspect of dietary fibre incorporation, their role and their level in the final products with
different sources of dietary fibre. Hence, this article will help on to understand the functional meat
products in detailed with dietary fibre enrichment.
