Food Matrices

The Food Matrices work stream focused on the influence of food structures on nutrient bioavailability.

Food Matricies

*Note: The Food Matrices work stream activities concluded January 31, 2019, with the close of FAQR Phase III Project Year 3. 

The Food Matrices team focused on:

  • Examining the evidence on how the composition and structure of food products influence the bioavailability, absorption, and physiological utilization of nutrients;
  • Exploring innovations in thermal and non-thermal food processing including perspectives on food functionality (quality control), nutrient content and bioavailability, palatability, and digestibility.
