Objective Role of diet in diseases and disorders : Use of dose response studies to define the lowest level of intake of n-3 PUFA which exert a positive nutritional effect against biomakers of chronic diseases in humans. These biomarkers include the lowering of plasma triaglycerol, reducing cytokine production and the thrombotic tendancy of blood.Functional foods : Design a range of microencapsulated n-3 PUFA functionalingredients with high levels of n-3 PUFA which can be used in a wide range of end products and for a wide range of specific consumer groups.Nutritional adequacy & bioavailability : Optimise the bioavailability/oxidative stability balance by cooperative effort between process technology development and nutritional bioavailability studies. The technologies evaluated shall include antioxidant stabilisation and microencapsulation.Tasks : The main tasks involved shall include the following : dose reponse study; sourcing & stabilisation of fish oil; development and use of novel analytical techniques; process development; shelf life optimisation studies; n-3 PUFA bioavailability studies; applications development - explore a number of possible end end use products; the project should be completed in 3 years.The team : This project is led by a successful Irish Dairy Company who have recently launched a n-3 PUFA Fields of science agricultural sciencesanimal and dairy sciencedairynatural sciencesbiological sciencesbiochemistrybiomoleculeslipidsmedical and health scienceshealth sciencesnutrition Programme(s) FP4-FAIR - Specific research, technological development and demonstration programme in the field of agriculture and fisheries (including agro-industry, food technologies, forestry, aquaculture and rural development), 1994-1998 Topic(s) 3.2.2 - Functional foods Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator GOLDEN VALE PLC.
