Title: Designing Food Structures for Optimal Functionality and Nutrition
Abstract: The challenge of designing foods for health attributes requires a detailed understanding of the interactions of food structures with physiological and behavioral processes occurring during food consumption and digestion. The human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is the interface between consumed food and the human body, and the process of food digestion in the GIT is multi-faceted and complex. The mechanisms of food disintegration and consequent absorption of released components in the GIT in relation to food structure remain unclear. This presentation will provide an overview of the approaches used for designing foods for functionality within the GIT, with examples of recent work from our laboratory on the structural changes in natural and fabricated milk based food systems during the digestion process.
Biography: Distinguished Professor Harjinder Singh is the Director of the Riddet Institute (Centre of Research Excellence), Massey University, New Zealand.
