Foods contain biologically active substances with various physiological effects. Among them, some components such as dietary fibers, polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants exert multiple activities, including intestinal regulation, anti-cancer, anti-lipidemia, anti-diabetes, immuno-regulatory and anti-oxidative activities. In addition, combinational uses of some components such as sesamin and α-tocopherol produce synergistically enhanced biological effects that are greater than the sum of individual effects. The expression of multiple effects enables production of multifunctional foods, which can prevent the occurrence of various diseases. In addition, synergic effects between biologically active substances allow us to decrease the dose of each component. This leads to improvement of safety and reduction of production costs of multifunctional foods.
