Infogest

INFOGEST is an international network with the aim of Sharing Information on the Digestion of Food. INFOGEST was created under a COST Action [FA1005] 2011-2015 and has evolved into an open network of over 700 scientists from both academia and industry from over 56 countries. The aim of the network is to improve the current scientific knowledge on how food is disintegrated during oral, gastric and intestinal digestion. The specific areas of interest at the moment divided into working groups: WG1 In vitro models of digestion WG2 Food interaction – meal digestion WG3 Intestinal barrier systems and absorption models WG4 Digestive lipases and lipid digestion WG5 Digestive amylases and starch digestion WG6 In silico models of digestion WG7 Imaging technologies applied to digestion WG8 Food oral processing and digestion INFOGEST organises workshops, training schools and the biennial International Conference on Food Digestion. The Infogest network receives annual funding from INRAE, the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment of France. Didier Dupont of INRAE Rennes, France is act as the chair of the network, while Alan Mackie of University of Leeds, UK is the vice-chair Further information and how to join the network can be found here: https://infogest.hub.inrae.fr/ This LinkedIn channel is administered by Andre Brodkorb, Teagasc Moorepark, Ireland.
