Research title: Strategies for reformulation of baked good for improved nutritional status
Research Summary
My research focuses on strategies to improve baked products in the UK. The continued impact of energy-dense diets and the obesogenic environment on health has called for innovation in the food sector. It is my aim to sustainably integrate micronutrients into the diet through reformulation technique. I am currently exploring consumer knowledge, understanding and awareness of food reformulation and willingness to try reformulated baked products. Included in my research goal is to review the impact of reformulated baked products (including fibre enrichment, manipulation of fatty acid/sugar content, integration of ingredients improving nutritional profile, salt reduction) on cardiometabolic markers (anthropometric measures, blood lipid/glucose/insulin, glycated haemoglobin, HOMA and quicki).
