Information System for Agriculture and Food Research

Relevancy: 100%

The aim of Reduction2025 is to connect all parts of the food chain, including agriculture, producers, grocery and consumers, in order to inform about the progress on reduction of salt, sugar and fat in food products. Furthermore, the platform intends to built a fundament for cooperation and trust (Project)

The networking and transfer project "Reduction2025” is intended to continue the already successful event and workshop series "Reduction2020” and to make it available to a wide range of participants from the food industry, the food trade, the raw material and ingredient suppliers. In addition, the consumer perspective should also be included in the development workshops, as both consumer...

Collaborative Project: Sensory optimization of sodium-reduced semi-hard cheese - subproject B (Project)

Causes and correlations of bitter taste sensation of sodium-reduced semi-hard cheese and approaches for its mitigation are investigated systematically. The objective of the project is to find out which relevant bitter peptides are separated during cheese manufacture, how their formation can be reduced, which mineral salt mixtures in the brine are suitable as NaCl substitute, and finally the...

Studies on the degradation or conversion of FODMAP and fructans in wheat and rye doughs and pastries made from them (Project)

According to studies, FODMAPs, which are also found in cereals with sometimes high contents, are suspected of causing irritable bowel syndrome. The project deals with investigations of the extent to which dough preparation (fermentation, sourdough microflora) in the production of wheat and rye baked goods has an influence on the FODMAP content. The aim of the research is to develop processing...

Effect of food processing on the bioaccessibility of nutrients. Investigations with the tiny-TIM system (Project)

In vitro-gastrointestinal models such as the tiny-TIM (TNO Intestinal Model) system provide the opportunity to simulate sub-processes of gastrointestinal digestion similar to conditions in humans. Besides examining the release of nutrients from the food matrix (individual products up to complex meals), it is possible to estimate the amount of a nutrient available for absorption...

Developement of an enzyme-linked assay (ELISA) for determination of pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA)-protein adducts as biomarkers for the detection of PA-exposure in livestock (Project)

The project is part of the superordinate research project Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids (PA) Safe Feed. PAs are a group of phytotoxins widely present in herbal plants. Many PA-containing plants can cause severe acute and chronic liver injury in both, humans and animals. Based on new toxicological risk assessments, plants, seeds or parts of plants containing pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) have been...
