Our research
Our researchers have been involved in the international RING trials to standardise human protein digestibility, and the development of this platform for animal feed (chicken and pig).
Through collaboration with the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre (SPMIC), NCDL can also assess in vivo human digestion of protein using fMRI approaches.
The facility is equipped to analyse critical nutrients and micro-nutrient constituents including total protein, amino acids, lipids, fatty acids, total energy, mono/oligo saccharides, vitamins, nutritional metabolome and mineral analysis.
