Abstract
- TNO’s intestinal screening model (TNO i-screen) helps to quickly identify food ingredients that modulate the intestinal microbiota composition. For manufacturers, searching for health-promoting ingredients is a complex and time-consuming process. Large numbers of substances have to be screened, while for some components almost no proper identification methods are available. When a functional ingredient has finally been selected, extensive in vitro and human volunteer studies are required to demonstrate its safety and to validate its efficacy prior to marketing it as beneficial to health.
