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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biography:<\/strong> \u00a0Distinguished Professor Harjinder Singh is the Director of the Riddet Institute (Centre of Research Excellence), Massey University, New Zealand.
