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
Diet and Health Research Industry Club (DRINC)
DRINC is a 5-year partnership between BSRC and a consortium of leading companies, aimed at helping the food industry develop products that deliver enhanced health benefits for consumers. Its themes are:
Improved understanding of healthier diets - includes effect of food components on energy intake, and how foods might be designed to have precise nutritional properties.
Bioactives in foods - includes understanding of how beneficial compounds work and how health claims may be verified.
The MRC is contributing to this funding scheme to support a number of projects directly relevant to the MRC's remit.
