Development and Application of a High-Throughput Assay for Discovery of Starch Hydrolase Inhibitors
… for the active ingredients in low Glycemic Index foods, a 96-well based high-throughput method (HTS) for rapidly measuring the inhibition of starch hydrolase was developed, by monitoring the decrease in turbidity over time during the enzymatic digestion of starch. By applying HTS, extracts of wild …

Understanding and exploiting bacteriophage-host interactions for the control and detection of listeria monocytogenes
… phage isolated from grass silage, was applied to food matrices for the biocontrol of L. monocytogenes which resulted in the inhibition of L. monocytogenes in artificially inoculated pasteurized milk and baby spinach. The key findings from this study show the importance of the food matrix, …

Absorption of Dietary Titanium Dioxide
Food grade Titanium dioxide (fgTiO2) is used as a colouring additive in the food industry, and it is present in food, capsules, and toothpaste. We are exposed to a median of 2.5 mg fgTiO2 per day in the UK through such sources. These are persistent micro and nanoparticles that have been reported in …

Influence of dietary polyphenols on carbohydrate intestinal digestion and absorption
… evidence support the notion that polyphenol rich foods and beverages may modify glycemic response, glucose homeostasis and subsequent risk of Type-2 diabetes. <em>In vitro</em> evidence typically derived from experiments with pure phenolics and phenolic rich extracts have pointed to this benefit …

Closing the fibre gap in refined cereal product – quality and health
… of individual fibre ingredients into food products, while human intervention trials typically evaluate these fibres in their isolated form, not as part of a food matrix. To address this gap, this thesis employed two complementary approaches. Firstly, fibre blends were optimised using …

Effects of carbohydrates on iron metabolism in intestinal and liver cells
… Results indicated that fructose in a water-based matrix with added ferric iron (FeCl3) significantly increased ferritin formation in Caco-2 and HepG2 cells by 40 and 35 %, respectively, in comparison with iron alone treated cells; this effect was negated in the Caco-2 cell line by phytates and …

Microstructural changes and micronutrient bioaccessibility in soft-solid foods, using a model fresh cheese and in vitro digestion
Processed food products are complex matrices with many components interacting below 100 μm. These interactions will dictate the characteristics of product from a physical, chemical and nutritional point of view. The increasing demand for food products with health benefits and functional properties …
