No. of bitstreams: 1 2008 - Marco Antonio Ferreira de Souza.pdf: 2114565 bytes, checksum: 0c343463353326e5371d4a8d0734a377 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-04-28 / Functional foods and nutraceuticals represent a kind of food that provides physiological and health benefits beside basic nutrition. Far from being conventional food, they are positioned as an alternative for some traditional and complimentary medicinal products. The first appearance of this novel type of food occurred in Japan in the 80?s, when some food were researched and used to tackle the progressive increase of health related diseases that promoted drastic drop in public health indices. This experience lead to the creation of a new product category initially called functional food, renamed later as food for special health use or FOSHU. The USA amplified this experience giving to it a remarkable visibility. Although they had not formalized a new product category this food begin to be called as nutraceutical. This new perspective of tackling the diet and health relation meant a significative change in the institutional environment of producing and promoting public health since it offers to agro food system players a primacy up to now permitted only to Pharmaceuticals Company. This thesis searched to provide a wide visibility panel of the raising of this novel type of food and an analysis of its repercussion on the agro food system. It began with the characterization of food provisioning modes considering the centrality exerted by quality over the agro food system competition dynamics. Convention economy concepts were applied to uncover different food quality justifications. An institutionalization approach was assumed in order to provide a deep compreenhension of the meaning of these novel types of food and of its raising. It resulted in a framework that accounted for three different arenas in that the process itself develops: scientific, regulatory and market. The analysis involved the experiences of Brasil, Japan, USA and European Union. Even though this process represent a new momentum for the agro food question, it favors most those player concerned with the industrial mode of food provisioning, mainly the ingredient and final food industry giants. Those players concerned with alternative food initiatives face obstacles related to complex regulatory framework and scientific requirements. These reflect the trend of regulatory framework in focusing on functional substances rather than products, even those in natura. To come into reality functional foods and nutraceuticals demands truly value systems based on the complex coordination of expensive and time-consuming scientific and productive activities. All of them completely adverse for small and medium size companies to cope with. / Alimentos funcionais e nutrac?uticos s?o apresentados como alimentos que, al?m de suas fun??es b?sicas nutricionais, demonstram benef?cios fisiol?gicos e/ou reduzem o risco de doen?as cr?nicas. Eles se afastam dos alimentos ditos convencionais e ficam posicionados como produtos diferenciados e uma alternativa para o processo de cuidado com a sa?de. Tais alimentos acabam dividindo com alguns produtos da medicina tradicional e alternativa o importante espa?o simb?lico de produ??o de sa?de. A primeira experi?ncia pr?tica ocorreu no Jap?o nos anos 80, quando o governo estimulou a pesquisa e uso de alimentos como aliados na melhoria dos ?ndices de sa?de publica do pa?s. O esfor?o originou o conceito de alimentos funcionais e estimulou a cria??o de uma categoria de alimentos classificada como alimentos funcionais, mais tarde modificada para FOSHU ou food for special health purpose. Nos EUA essa experi?ncia foi amplificada e esses alimentos s?o mais conhecidos como nutrac?uticos, por?m sem reconhecimento formal. Esta nova perspectiva para abordar a rela??o dieta e sa?de representa uma mudan?a significativa no ambiente institucional relativo a produ??o e promo??o de sa?de p?blica, pois concede aos atores do sistema agroalimentar uma primazia at? ent?o permitida apenas ?s empresas de medicamentos. Esta tese teve como objetivo a constru??o de um amplo painel de visibilidade da ascens?o desses novos alimentos, baseado na descri??o da trajet?ria desses termos e na an?lise das repercuss?es dessa transforma??o institucional sobre a quest?o agroalimentar. A quest?o agroalimentar foi caracterizada a partir da an?lise das modalidades correntes de fornecimento de alimento, objetivo alcan?ado atrav?s do uso dos conceitos da Economia das Conven??es. Para fins de conceitua??o e descri??o da trajet?ria procurou-se caracterizar o processo de institucionaliza??o dos novos alimentos, explorando os aspectos cient?ficos, regulamentares e mercadol?gicos. Al?m do Brasil foram analisadas as experi?ncias japonesa, americana e europ?ia. Embora represente um novo momento para a quest?o agroalimentar, verificou-se que a institucionaliza??o favorece principalmente aos atores associados ? modalidade industrial de fornecimento de alimentos: ind?stria processadora e fabricantes de alimentos finais. Em detrimentos aos interesses de projetos alternativos de fornecimento de alimentos com qualidade diferenciada, como os org?nicos e a produ??o local. Os pa?ses que aderiram a esta reclassifica??o dos alimentos t?m privilegiado a cria??o de complexas estruturas regulamentares para avaliar e liberar o uso de alega??es de sa?de para alimentos e o foco sobre subst?ncias e n?o sobre os alimentos, mesmo aqueles in natura. Para se tornarem realidade, tais alimentos demandam a cria??o de verdadeiros sistemas de valor que implicam a coordena??o de atividades cient?ficas e produtivas bastante onerosas para pequenas e m?dias empresas.
