Dairy nutrition and health: from nutrients to matrix effects
Tuesday 14th of January at 12 p.m. (GMT)
Overview: Dairy nutrition and health - Critical insights into milk and dairy products and their impact on human nutrition and health. This webinar will consider macronutrients and the important micronutrients in these products and focus on their digestion and bioavailability. Attention will also be focused on how the specific product matrix affects these aspects and the consideration of health and nutrition in sustainable diets.
Speaker: Professor Thom Huppertz
Thom holds an MSc from Wageningen University and a PhD from University College Cork. His career includes academic and industrial research in dairy science and technology, and nutrition. His research has spanned from products to processes, from biosynthesis of milk to digestion of milk constituents in the human body, and from product and process optimisation to sustainable food systems. He is a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Victoria University and the Editor-in-Chief of International Dairy Journal.
In addition, he has been an active member of committees in the International Dairy Federation, Global Dairy Platform and FAO. Professor Huppertz combines his role as Research Professor at University College Cork with his role as Research Fellow at FrieslandCampina in the Netherlands.
