From understanding to modulation of physical barriers for in vitro starch and protein digestion in pulses KU Leuven
Pulses are important constituents of healthy diets because they contain substantial amounts of protein, (slowly digestible) starch, dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins. Nutrients are encapsulated by a cell wall that commonly remains intact upon ingestion of hydrothermally processed pulses. As a result, the cell wall and cytoplasmic matrix impose physical barriers for enzymatic digestion of encapsulated nutrients (s)lowering their digestion ...
3D printing of bespoke aids Thomas More Kempen
Persons with disabilities, for example as a result of stroke, rheumatoid arthritis and patients with moderate, severe to profound mental disabilities often need occupational therapy aids to help them perform activities in daily living.

Nonlinear optical characterisation of crystal growth KU Leuven
Crystallization is of crucial importance in the synthesis, separation and purification of high-end materials in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. In spite the importance of crystallization, the knowledge about the mechanisms that lead to crystal growth are not well known.
To understand the different stages of crystallization, different techniques were developed based on harmonic scattering. Various properties such as ...
