Development of an in vitro experimental dialysis-model with colonic-phase to simulate the metabolisation by the gut flora and the resorption of naturally occurring polyphenolic antioxidants from the human diet. 01/07/2008 - 31/12/2012

Abstract

This project comprises the development of a continuous flow in vitro dialysis model with a colonic-phase which simulates the gastro-intestinal tract and permits to investigate the absorption and metabolisation of different food constituents. This study focuses on the metabolisation by the gut flora of polyphenolic food constituents, and the antioxidative effects of the metabolites formed and absorbed.

      Influence of dietary fiber in food of children below three years on the bioavailability of iron, zinc and calcium. 01/10/1999 - 30/09/2001

      Abstract

      The research contains two aspects. First the influence of different components of the dietary fiber complex will be studied by in vitro experiments and by in vivo studies by young children (below 3 years) in order not to disturb the recommended daily allowances for iron, zinc and calcium. Secondly the effect of the speciation (chemical forms) of the interested elements in the presence of components of the dietary fiber will be studied.
