GastroLab Tech Mimics Digestive Track
The International Food Network (IFN) introduced its GastroLab technology, which allows customized in vitro studies to monitor products through the digestive process.
The International Food Network (IFN) introduced its GastroLab technology, which allows customized in vitro studies to monitor products through the digestive process. IFN GastroLab concentrates on the upper portion of the digestion system, focusing on stomach processing. Conditions such as gastrochemical make-up and pH profile are tailored to evaluate clients’ physicochemical properties of interest.
The GastroLab system shortens food and beverage product launch periods, while minimizing risk and enhancing results, according to IFN CEO Peter Salmon. "We have the ability to determine what will survive the rigors of the digestive tract and develop new food and beverage forms to optimize their functionality," he said.
The GastroLab technology can be applied to active/functional ingredients, enzyme kinetics, general digestion, delivery technologies and ingredient survival and degradation studies. According to IFN it offers efficient pre-clinical screening to control costs, customized models and analysis, rapid screening and prototyping, quick assessment of processing options and short developmental timeline.
