Reviews

Author Information

Harjinder Singh is a Distinguished Professor and Director of the Massey Institute of Food Science and Technology. He is also the Co-Director of the Riddet Institute, a National Centre of Research Excellence in food science and nutrition. Professor Singh's research focuses on milk protein structures and functionality, food emulsions, protection and encapsulation of bioactive compounds, and digestive behavior of food structures. He has published over 300 research papers in international journals, and is co-inventor of 15 patents some which have formed the basis of commercial innovations. He has presented over 110 keynote addresses at national and international conferences. Dr. Alejandra Acevedo-Fani is a Senior Scientist with a background in Food Science and Technology on a mission to unlock the potential of future food materials, their techno-functional properties and impact on digestion and human health. She has professional expertise in physical and functional characterisation of protein-rich and lipid-rich food materials (e.g. emulsions, oil bodies, plant proteins, dairy proteins), product development, and mimicking digestion of foods using dynamic in vitro models.
