Dr. Mario Ferruzzi visit to SIFBI
14 Aug 2024
We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Mario Ferruzzi at SIFBI where he gave a talk on the complexities of translating nutrition research into health benefits. Dr. Ferruzzi discussed the bioavailability and metabolism of plant-derived carotenoids and (poly)phenolics, emphasizing their crucial role in delivering health benefits from consumer foods.
The seminar highlighted research on enhancing the bioavailability of these nutrients through plant genetics, food formulation, and processing. Dr. Ferruzzi also shared insights on improving product design to optimize the delivery of bioactive compounds for better human health.
Dr. Ferruzzi’s work underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing our understanding of food systems and their impact on public health. These insights have helped and seeded many possibilities in nutrition research that we could work on in food for the Asian population.
