Food digestion as influenced .by food structure: the role of pectin - food component interactions in plant-based food systems KU Leuven
To rationally design functional foods beyond basic nutrition, it is essential to develop an underpinning knowledge and understanding how food components and structures are transformed and absorbed during human digestion. This project aims to study the role of pectin - food component interactions in plant-based food systems and their consequence for food digestion. Pectin is an important structure-determining component in plant-based systems. ...

The shift from traditional to new fish smoking technology in Ghana: Chemical and Microbiological Food Safety Implications, and Recommendations for Meeting Food Security Objectives Ghent University
Ghanian population obtains 60% of animal protein from fish, mainly traditionally smoked fish. Traditional ovens and methods of smoking predispose products to chemical and microbiological hazards, thus compromising safety. A new oven has been introduced to address those safety problems. This study will evaluate the impact of the intervention on the safety of the products from a risk assessment perspective.
