22nd INFOGEST Viva - Dorine Duijsens - Lentil-based foods structure and in vitro digestion

22nd INFOGEST Viva Webinar on Food Digestion
Wednesday 02/04/2025
These webinars are hosted by Teagasc and INFOGEST on the first Wednesday of each month.

Title: Steering digestion of lentil-based foods through structure engineering and advancing in vitro digestion methodologies

Dorine Duijsens with a PhD in Bioscience engineering in August 2024, currently works as a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of food technology at KU Leuven in Belgium, working on food and meal design for specific population groups using adapted in vitro digestion models.
