Project Details
Project Description
The direct relationship between food ingredients and health is well known. In contrast, it is unknown which conversion products - with which kind of health impact – are formed during digestion and food processing.
Therefore, novel molecular research tools for interdisciplinary nutritional life sciences are needed to achieve technology breakthroughs:
Unravel the fate of nutrients during digestion / processing by employing novel analytical techniques
Impact of chemical products towards nutrition and health
Provision of optimized processing and a deep understanding of pathways within human digestion
The project addresses two aspects:
1) Public health / healthy food choice / healthy society
2) Market potential for food companies / sector: new products and processes
