INFOGEST static in vitro simulation of gastrointestinal food digestion
Brodkorb, André; Egger, Lotti; Alminger, Marie; Alvito, Paula; Assunção, Ricardo; Ballance, Simon; Bohn, Torsten; Bourlieu-Lacanal, ClaireDeveloping a mechanistic understanding of the impact of food structure and composition on human health has increasingly involved simulating digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract. These simulations have used a wide range of different conditions that often have very little physiological relevance, and this impedes the meaningful comparison of results. The standardized protocol presented here is based on a...
Textural changes in vegetables during thermal processing. I. A descriptive meth...
Moreira, Lília André; Oliveira, Fernanda Adelina Rodrigues; Oliveira, Jorge Coelho; Singh, R. PaulCriteria for assessing the effect of processing treatments on the texture of processed foods were developed. Five parameters were defined, relating the hardening or softening of a food material and allowing for the comparison between different processing procedures. In order to determine the usefulness of this method, the parameters were applied to experimental data reported in literature for thermal processing...
