Studies from University of Leuven (KU Leuven) Yield New Data on Food Science (Engineering Strategies To Modulate Nutrient Digestion Kinetics and Bioaccessibility of Plant-based Foods)

2023 AUG 23 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Food Daily News -- Current study results on Food Science have been published.

Review Description

Since plant-based raw materials present a relatively high level of nutrient encapsulation, processing is often essential to increase the susceptibility of nutrients to digestive compounds or to release nutrients from their natural entrapment to become available for digestion/absorption. Next to food processing, food (re)formulation is also a valuable strategy to steer nutrient digestive functionalities. These two food design strategies create a range of different food (micro)structures that are broken down along the gastrointestinal tract determining nutrients digestibility/bioaccessibility. Additionally, the role of digestion conditions on nutrient digestion/bioaccessibility cannot be ignored, paving the way for engineering strategies to develop food for specific target populations.
