In Vitro Digestion of Lipids in Real Foods: Influence of Lipid Organization Within the Food Matrix and Interactions with Nonlipid Components.

Food composition, lipid organization within the food matrix, and gastrointestinal conditions are key factors affecting lipolysis. Knowledge on that can be used to modulate lipolysis performance after food ingestion. Different applications are foreseen, as food design and nutritional recommendations for the general populations and specific target groups. The most immediate application is related to the scope of the research project that frames this work (www.mycyfapp.eu). These results have contributed to the development of a mobile app for cystic fibrosis patients, which includes an algorithm for enzyme dose prediction based on food properties. The app is currently being tested in a clinical trial setting.
