TIM studies

As part of pre-clinical research and oral product development, reliable data are necessary to predict product performance. Ultimately, product performance is directly linked to the gastrointestinal behavior of the product, i.e. the release of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or nutrient from its matrix and the subsequent availability for absorption (bioaccessibility) during transit through the gastrointestinal tract. Understanding product performance and evaluation of product candidates can be done in clinical trials or animal studies. Both are expensive, time consuming and underlie ethical constraints. Some food studies: Digestibility Studies, Protein Quality, i.e. Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) determination, Probiotic Survival, Nutritional Value, i.e. bioaccessibility of micro- and macronutrients.
