The brain, as the central organ of the body, plays a vital role in controlling bodily functions, enabling thought, and fostering emotions. To perform efficiently, it requires proper nourishment in the form of essential nutrients. Brain-boosting foods, rich in active ingredients such as zinc, monounsaturated fatty acids, choline, and DHA, have been shown to significantly enhance cognitive performance and memory power. Brain Foods: Nutrition to Optimize Cognitive Performance explores the science of extracting bioactive constituents from natural sources to develop innovative cognitive performance-enhancing foods. It provides insights into the packaging materials required for brain-boosting products and serves as a comprehensive guide for food technologists seeking to create novel memory-enhancing foods from indigenous resources.

The book addresses critical safety and regulatory aspects, offering a global perspective on organizations and initiatives dedicated to advancing brain health through nutrition. A must-have resource for researchers, food technologists, and professionals in the field, it bridges the gap between science and application in the development of brain-boosting foods.
