Abstract
Selenium (Se)-enriched yeast is a common form of Se for supplementation purpose. In this paper Se retention and metabolism in body, content in natural food and supplements have been introduced. Then recent investigations on the beneficial health effects of Se-enriched yeast addition to foods and impact of process variables in its production as well as, product characteristic, Se species, intended dietary use for Se-enriched yeast, bioavailability and stability have been reviewed. Finally safety of the yeast source in Se-enriched yeast, probable toxicity including acute and chronic toxicity have been discussed. Application of Se-enriched yeast, complying with the general product characteristics outlined in paper when used in food supplements is safe at the proposed intake levels, which upper bound total estimated daily intake for adults was calculated to be 150 µg as Se.
Keywords: Se-enriched yeast, product specifications, intended dietary use, bioavailability, toxicity.

Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
