The paper presents an international consensus for a standardised static<italic>in vitro</italic>digestion method food.
Developing a mechanistic understanding of the impact food structure and composition on human health has increasingly involved simulating digestion in upper gastrointestinal tract. These simulations have used wide range different conditions that often very little physiological relevance, this impedes meaningful comparison results. The standardized protocol presented here is based an international consensus developed by COST INFOGEST network. method designed to be with standard laboratory...
Abstract The purpose of the present study is to investigate effects krill oil and fish on serum lipids markers oxidative stress inflammation evaluate if different molecular forms, triacylglycerol phospholipids, omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) influence plasma level EPA DHA differently. One hundred thirteen subjects with normal or slightly elevated total blood cholesterol and/or triglyceride levels were randomized into three groups given either six capsules ( N = 36; 3.0 g/day, +...
Understanding the mechanisms of food digestion is paramount importance to determine effect foods have on human health. Significant knowledge fate during has been generated in healthy adults due development physiologically-relevant vitro models. However, it appears that performance oro-gastrointestinal tract affected by ageing and a model simulating digestive conditions found younger adult (<65 years) not relevant for an older (>65 years). The objectives present paper were: (1) conduct...
Red meat high in heme iron may promote the formation of potentially genotoxic aldehydes during lipid peroxidation gastrointestinal tract. In this study, malondialdehyde (MDA) equivalents measured by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) method was determined vitro digestion cooked red (beef and pork), as well white (chicken) fish (salmon), whereas analysis 4-hydroxyhexenal (HHE) 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) performed beef salmon. Comparing products with similar fat contents indicated...
While the harmonized INFOGEST model provides a physiologically relevant platform for simulated digestion, it needs to be combined with adequate analytical methods enable quantification and comparison of protein digestibility in different food matrices. We have shown that size exclusion chromatography (SEC) can used estimate proportion small peptides potentially available uptake. Combined determination total dissolved protein, % per was calculated as (DSEC). Values DSEC differed casein...

Crantz), focusing on influence environmental factors nutritional quality parameters. Field experiments with precrop barley were conducted in Norway growing seasons 2007, 2008, and 2009. Trials fully randomized two levels nitrogen (N) fertilization, 0 120 kg total N ha–1, sulfur (S) 20 S ha–1. Weather conditions, that is, temperature precipitation, recorded....
Nitrite derivatives react with endogenous precursors forming N-nitrosamines associated development of colorectal cancer. The present study aims to investigate the formation in sausage during processing and vitro gastrointestinal digestion after adding sodium nitrite and/or spinach emulsion. INFOGEST protocol was used simulate oral, gastric, small intestinal phases digestion, added oral phase mimic input from saliva as it has shown affect N-nitrosamines. results show that addition emulsion,...
The aim of this study was to determine the extent which oat particle size in a porridge could alter glucose absorption, gastric emptying, gastrointestinal hormone response, and subjective feelings appetite satiety. Porridge prepared from either flakes or flour with same protein, fat, carbohydrate, mass. These were fed eight volunteers on separate days crossover study, ratings, contents, plasma glucose, insulin, hormones determined over period 3 h. flake gave lower response than porridge,...
Nowadays, rapid freezing is sought to favor the formation of small ice crystals. Several studies have shown that application ultrasounds (US) accelerates processes energy and mass transfer when they are applied through immersion systems. However, there hardly any on its in direct systems without use a liquid medium for transmission. Therefore, objective this work was evaluate potential US improving process chicken breast samples. First, intermittent treatments at different net sonication...
Trans -fatty acids (TFA) have adverse effects on blood lipids, but whether TFA from different sources are associated with risk of CVD remains unresolved. The objective the present study was to evaluate association between intake partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVO), fish (PHFO) and ruminant fat (rTFA) risks death CVD, CHD, cerebrovascular diseases sudden in Norwegian Counties Study, a population-based cohort study. Between 1974 1988, participants were examined for up three times. Fat...
Intake of trans fatty acids (TFA) may influence systemic inflammation, insulin resistance and adiposity, but whether TFA intake influences cancer risk is insufficiently studied. We examined the association between from partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVO-TFA), fish (PHFO-TFA), ruminant fat (rTFA) in Norwegian counties study, a large cohort study with participation rate >80%. was assessed three times 1974-1988 by questionnaire. A total 77,568 men women were followed up through 2007,...
Personalisation of foods opens for improving individuals' quality life. In the personalised food approach, focus research is food, its components and possibilities different processes throughout value chain to impact on individuals their needs. this paper, we will provide an overview how from a perspective can benefit consumers that require special offerings. The paper structured along addressing following topics: i) Food raw material components, ii) processing culinary aspects, iii)...
Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF)-ohmic is one of the most recently proposed alternatives for application ohmic heating in order to provide a more uniform and faster food.
