Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Technical Summary
The Food & Nutrition National Bioscience Research Infrastructure (F&N-NBRI) is a national coordinating ‘hub’ in nutrition and health and the leading national provider of new and continuously updated data tools and services vital for UK public health research and innovation. It is ideally positioned within QIB to acquire unique understanding of the research needs around data and tools focusing on food gut microbes and health that can benefit the wider research community (academia industry users).
F&N-NBRI will enable the UK to deliver nutritional policy and world-leading science in support of current and emerging national strategic needs in nutrition (food composition and intake) health (e.g. obesity healthy ageing) and sustainability (environment food security). It will add new food data and tools to meet the needs of researchers within QIB and more widely across food biosciences in the UK. It will provide training and capacity development for key users in food and public health and regularly engage with end-users stakeholders and other potential beneficiaries to ensure knowledge exchange.

| Title | Food Labelling Dataset |
| Description | The McCance and Widdowson's Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset (CoFID) dataset, which F&N - NBRI maintain, contains reference data on the levels of nutrients in thousands of the most commonly eaten foods in the UK. This dataset, however, contains some unknown nutrient values, occurring when analysis of a specific compound in a specific food has not been carried out. The absence of this data means that the calculation method becomes very difficult. Therefore, following feedback from users, particularly SME'S and app producers, an updated and improved labelling dataset has been created by estimating the missing values for the most important foods within CoFID. The values were estimated from a number of sources, such as manufacturers' data, scientific literature, food composition datasets from other countries and calculations based on similar foods and ingredients. The new labelling dataset covers 2,914 foods and ingredients from almonds and apples to yogurt and Yorkshire puddings, and is freely available to download from the F&N - NBRI website. The data is continually monitor and updated by F&N -NBRI with current focus on Meat and Poultry. |

| Impact | As indicated in the EU regulations (the provision of food information to consumers (Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011), most food companies have had to provide nutritional information on their pre-packed products since December 2016. The regulation presents a potential financial challenge for food companies to analyze their products in labs and, as an alternative, nutrient labels can also be produced by calculation using generally established and authoritative food composition data. This new labelling new dataset will help food manufacturers, dieticians, nutritionists, software and app producers create the nutrition information for food products and recipes. This labelling data set has been used by SME's to provide labelling for their products. |

| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | The project supports the Government School food standards practical guide, 2022, the School Food Plan, the Eatwell Guide and the Government Strategy on tackling obesity. This work is a follow-on activity from the UEA ITeams project of 2022, examining the food composition and nutritional value of school dinners. The underpinning research includes the UK Composition of Foods (CoFID) database, created and managed by the Food and Nutrition - NBRI https://fnnbri.quadram.ac.uk/. The database is the 'go to' standard reference for nutrition and it is frequently used to update information on new or changing food ingredients. This data enables the UK government to deliver nutritional policy and high-quality science and supports current and emerging national needs in nutrition (food composition & intake), health (e.g., obesity, healthy aging), and sustainability (environmental and food security). FDNC data and tools are used in four strategic areas: Research and Innovation; Industry; Healthcare and Consumers; and Policy - to help shape the move to more healthy and sustainable food choices as part of the National Food Strategy.

| Title | Dietary BIoactives and Microbiome DivErsity |
| Description | Within the intestines there is a community of micro-organisms known as the gut microbiome. Its composition may vary from person to person, but humans depend on this community to break down some undigested food to produce essential products such as vitamin K, and to perform several other functions. Richer diversity in these communities has been linked to better health, although not all factors for this have yet been discovered. Dietary intake has a big role to play in the composition of the microbiome and studies have observed the effect of carbohydrates, fibre, proteins and fats, but little has been done on the effect of micronutrient intake and non-nutrients such as beneficial plant chemicals. Plants contain some non-nutrient compounds which might impact the diversity of the microbiome. The aim of this study is to determine if a diet high in these plant compounds; polyphenols (compounds found in foods such as blueberries), carotenoids (found in brightly coloured foods) and glucosinolates (found in foods like broccoli) will have an effect on the diversity of the gut microbiome. The study was completed with funding from Horizon2020, Food & Nutrition Security Cloud project |
