ACTIVITY GROUP’S DESCRIPTION

The research activity of the Cereal Group is the design, development and biochemical, physico-chemical and nutritional assessment of value-added cereal-based goods. Research is tackled by means of a basic approach for chemically understanding the functionality of cereal constituents in complex matrices. The fundamental information is focused/oriented to the achievement of end cereal products easily transferred and exploited by the related industry. This integrated global approach is devoted either to generate basic knowledge or to transfer obtained results efficiently to the industry..

As research-line the group centres on nutritional studies of vegetable raw materials and/or their by-products on their biological activity for their subsequent integration into new food matrices. For this purpose, different in vitro and in vivo strategies are utilized for determining nutritional and/or biological activities. These assays include the determination of bioaccessibility/bioavailability of minerals, glycaemic index and nutrient inputs according to Dietary Reference Intakes/Adequate Intakes (DRIs/AIs). The ultimate objective is to identify dietetic solutions and innovations to prevent diseases and to improve consumers’ well-being and health.

In recent years the group focused on the:

– Use of phytases from Bifidobacterium for increasing mineral availability of vegetable foods
– Utility of Latinamerican crops as ingredients for improving nutritional and functionality of bakery products
– Develop new cereal wet milling processes/pseudocereals for getting starches and protein isolates with new nutritional and functional features.
