Novel Processing approaches for the development of food products Low in fAt, Salt and sUgar (PLeASURe)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

More than 60% of all reported diseases in modern industrial countries are said to have their origin from malnutrition (low vitamin intake, high caloric food (fat and sugar)). As an important cause of this the high consumption of fat (saturated and trans-fatty acids, salt (sodium) and sugar (mono- and disaccharides) has been identified. With the change of society, the consumer’s pattern towards fo ...

PLANT food supplements: Levels of Intake, Benefit and Risk Assessment (PlantLIBRA)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2014,

Plant food supplements, or botanicals, have high acceptance by European consumers. Potentially, they can deliver significant health benefits, safely, and at relatively low costs. New regulations and EFSA guidance are also now in. However, concerns about safety, quality and efficacy of these products remain, and bottle-necks in risk and benefit assessments need to be solved. PlantLIBRA (PLANT food ...
