Objectives<br />

• Gain an underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> the link between food<br />

material properties obtained at the manufacturing<br />

stage <strong>and</strong> the disintegration kinetics <strong>of</strong> the food<br />

in the human stomach.<br />

– Develop an in vitro stomach model <strong>for</strong> detailed<br />

investigations <strong>of</strong> food disintegration kinetics<br />

– Explore the relationships between food material<br />

properties including texture <strong>and</strong> microstructure <strong>and</strong> the<br />

disintegration kinetics <strong>of</strong> food products<br />

• Develop a computational model <strong>of</strong> fluid flow <strong>and</strong><br />

solid disintegration in a human stomach
