Food chemistry is the discipline that deals with the major and minor constituents of food and its raw materials, as well as w ... ith their functionality, their fate during food processing and storage. Within this general theme, the Laboratory of Food Chemistry and Biochemistry, as a member of LFoRCe (http://www.lforce.kuleuven.be), has chosen to mainly concentrate its efforts on cereal constituents and how they influence food production and quality. The research mission of the Laboratory of Food Chemistry and Biochemistry is (i) to generate basic insights into the starch, non-starch polysaccharide, storage and physiologically active protein and lipid constituents of (pseudo-)cereals and (ii) to apply such insights with the aim to understand and improve processing, final product and/or health related functionality in biotechnological processes where cereals are used. read more
