From in vitro to in silico model: An engineering approach towards design of oil-in-water-based food products with tailored lipid digestion KU Leuven
The digestion of lipids in the human body has several health and nutritional implications. On the one side, a balanced lipid intake provides energy and essential fatty acids. On the other side, lipid overconsumption increases the risk of developing metabolic related diseases such as obesity, diabetes or cardiovascular diseases. In addition, lipid-based products could be employed as delivery systems for lipophilic functional compounds or as ...
