In line with the objective of promoting Early Stage Researchers (< PhD+8 years), we are
pleased to announce that the third Training School of Action FA1001 - Food Structure Design
(www.foodstructuredesign.net) : “Gastro Intestinal Engineering: the role of material
properties and microstructure of foods in nutrient release in the gastro-intestinal tract”,
organized by the Department of Food, Environmental And Nutritional Sciences, will be held
on September 8th, 9th and 10th 2014 at Milan, Department of Food, Environmental And
Nutritional Sciences. The event will be geared primarily towards Early Stage Researchers
(ESRs) from academic institutions and enterprises associated with the Action. Participants in
the training school will have an opportunity harness food structure engineering and linked
nutrition and microbial biotechnology insights to create biologically-inspired food, in the
perspective to advance in human health and thereby revolutionizing the development of
foods with health benefits.
Fifteen selected ERSs will be trained on the role of food material properties in gastric
digestion. The combined physical/nutritional approach will be explored in view of food
designing for healthy benefits, as this understanding drives new product development. Cases
will be presented to reshape the way to formulate, process and use healthy food following
the path from fork to farm, to face the consumers' expectations from the food they will eat
in the future.
The school provides an opportunity for participants to increase their knowledge,
experimental skills and experience transfer in the new product/process design approach of
healthy foods which has been adopted by Action Food Structure Design.
