Dietary Fibers supporting Gut and Immune Function - From polysaccharide compound to health claim (FIBEBIOTICS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
The project goal is to support the development of functional food ingredients and products that are beneficial for the human gut & immune system and therefore of crucial importance for quality of life. The project will study the effects of specific non-digestible polysaccharides which have shown health potential in this field. The health effects of NPS will be focused around enhancing immune defen ...

Impact of Gluten properties on Immune system and development of Food Allergy (IGIFA)
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
Allergies are increasing continuously over the last 20 years and become a major public health problem. The industry modify food proteins with process which could affect food proteins properties and then deregulate their interaction with the immune system causing intolerance or allergies to newly created allergens or previously tolerated. Among human diet, wheat is one of the major food components ...

The Plant Cell Wall Training Consortium (WallTraC)
Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: Feb 29, 2016,
"Plant cell walls constitute a highly complex and dynamic entity of extreme importance in plant growth and development. Growing cell walls can be considered as ""fibre composites"", where cellulose microfibrils are embedded in a matrix of complex glycans. It is becoming increasingly apparent (i) that cell wall glycans are diverse in structural terms, (ii) that these structures are developmentally ...

Seed health: development of seed treatment methods, evidence for seed transmission and assessment of seed health (TESTA)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,
Healthy seed are key to high crop yields, underpinning European and global food security. A wide range of diseases and pests are carried by seed and as well as spreading and increasing old problems, new problems may be introduced into the European Community countries via this route. There are currently opportunities to improve seed quality control by implementing emerging novel methodologies. The ...
