What is it about?
In recent years, new food trends have been observed that show an increased interest in people for a healthy and balanced diet; that is to say, functional nutrition. This has contributed to the emergence of a new line of research in the field of food and nutrition: functional foods and nutraceuticals. It seems that this research is capable of increasing market share in the translation field. For this reason, it is becoming a well established subject for the training of both students and professionals in translation. The study of the above mentioned field has given rise to the creation of a systematic and descriptive terminological work. In this paper we present a few results obtained from our research. The paper is divided into the following sections: first we present the theoretical framework of our study. We then present our objectives (both main and specific), then the methodology we have followed throughout our investigation. Finally, we discuss the results and we show the glossary we have created.
