Study of Structure-Properties-Process relations in real functional FOODs (FoodSPProcess) Grantagreementnumber: FP7-PEOPLE-2013-IEF-626643 Project duration: 24 months from 1st March 2014 Total Budget: 187.414,80 €
In Horizon 2020 • HEALTHY SECURE FOOD • ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS TO FIGHT ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCES WHICH PRODUCE A HIGH COST FOR THE HEALTHY EUROPEAN SYSTEM. • In The European Technology Platform Food for Life • TO DESCRIBE WHAT THE PHYSIOLOGICAL IMPACT OF CHANGES IN FOOD STRUCTURE ARE ON PROCESS-STRUCTURE FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES • TO PREVENT DELETERIOUS CHANGES, WHICH NEGATIVELY AFFECT PRODUCT QUALITY, NUTRIENT BIOAVAILABILITY AND FUNCTIONALITY
Aim The overallgoal of this work is to go in-depth on the study of any type of interactions that can be established between trehalose, antioxidant activity compounds, probiotic microorganisms and cellular structure of fruits. The determination of the effect of homogenization pressures and drying temperatures in these interactions will be assessed, in order to improve the technology to develope the process and functionality of natural functional foods with antioxidant and/or probiotic effect PROCESS STRUCTURE FUNCTIONALITY

Snack by HOT AIR DRYING …IN PRESS The free energy in Tre and Tre+ca samples is maintained until the end of drying, showing a BIGGER DEFORMATION CAPACITY of the samples thus PREVENTING THE CELLULAR DISRUPTION AND BREAKAGES. Figure 5. Evolution of the free energy to generate structural deformation/breakages efforts versus time.
IN VIVO studies 1.- Theconsumption of 40 g of snack during 28 days has a positive effectagainsttheoxidative stress in animals. 2.- Theconsumption of 40 g of snack during 28 daysimprovetheantioxidantdefences in patientswith hipercolesterolemia. 3.- Theconsumption of 40 g of snack withprobioticduring 28 daysimprovethesymptomatology in patientsinfectedwithHelicobacter pylori.
