"Infogest" (Improving Health Properties of Food by Sharing our
Knowledge on the Digestive Process) is an EU COST action/network in
the domain of Food and Agriculture that will last for 4 years from
April 4, 2011. Infogest aims at building an open international
network of institutes undertaking multidisciplinary basic research
on food digestion gathering scientists from different origins (food
scientists, gut physiologists, nutritionists...). The network
gathers 70 partners from academia, corresponding to a total of 29
countries. The three main scientific goals are: Identify the
beneficial food components released in the gut during digestion;
Support the effect of beneficial food components on human health;
Promote harmonization of currently used digestion models Infogest
meetings highlighted the need for a publication that would provide
researchers with an insight into the advantages and disadvantages
associated with the use of respective in vitro and ex vivo assays
to evaluate the effects of foods and food bioactives on health.
Such assays are particularly important in situations where a large
number of foods/bioactives need to be screened rapidly and in a
cost effective manner in order to ultimately identify lead
foods/bioactives that can be the subject of in vivo assays. The
book is an asset to researchers wishing to study the health
benefits of their foods and food bioactives of interest and
highlights which in vitro/ex vivo assays are of greatest relevance
to their goals, what sort of outputs/data can be generated and, as
noted above, highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the various
assays. It is also an important resource for undergraduate students
in the 'food and health' arena.
