Background Food digestion rate and location within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are
important for human health. Ideally, food digestion studies should be performed in vivo but …

The gold standard for nutrition studies is clinical trials but they are expensive and variable,
and do not always provide the mechanistic information required, hence the increased use of …

Gastric and small intestinal (GSI) models are increasingly used as an alternative to in vivo
assays to answer many questions raised by industry and researchers. A broad range of in …

Gastric emptying refers to a process in which the stomach discharges its contents into the
small intestine to further digest and absorb nutrients. Understanding the mechanisms of …

Nowadays, resulting from disordered glucose and lipid metabolism, metabolic diseases (eg,
hyperglycemia, type 2 diabetes, and obesity) are among the most serious health issues …

The digestion of starch‐based foods in the small intestine as well as factors affecting their
digestibility have been previously investigated and reviewed in detail. Starch digestibility …

To examine the impact of structural characteristics of cooked rice grains on their starch
digestibility, a simulated in vitro gastro-small intestinal digestion technique was applied to …

Engineered metal/mineral, lipid and biochemical macromolecule nanomaterials (NMs) have
potential applications in food. Methodologies for the assessment of NM digestion and …

The fundamental mechanisms of nutrient release from solid foods during gastric digestion
consists of multiple elementary processes. These include the diffusion of gastric juice into …

Intensification of biofuel production processes could play a critical role in boosting the
economic and environmental features of the whole process. A novel bionic flow-induced …
