INFOGEST - Food digestion and how an international network can help your research - In person
Minicourse will be taught in English
Speaker: André Brodkorb
André Brodkorb is a Principal Research Officer in the Teagasc Food Research Centre Moorepark, Ireland. His research interest covers the structure/function relationship of food and food ingredients, proteins and hydrocolloids in particular. Changes are monitored from “from source to delivery” i.e. processing, food production, storage all the way to consumption and gastro-intestinal transit in vitro and in vivo. Research on structuring of food components is also applied for the development of encapsulation devices for the delivery of bioactives or cells in protein-based aggregates or micro-gels.
Andre Brodkorb is the lead author of the international consensus Infogest in vitro digestion method for food. 1,2 He also hosted 15 digestion-related webinars by international expert, all available on the Infogest YouTube channel.
