Investigating food structure and how it affects digestibility and fermentability.
Using solid sate NMR to determine the Crystallinity of starches from different botanical sources before and after digestion and fermentation. To determine how the interaction of plant cell wall polysaccharides influences their structure and function with particular focus on the interactions of cellulose hemicelluloses. How the density and solubility of plant cell wall components drives fermentability.
