Abstract

This project aims to investigate the dynamic in vtiro digestibility of solid lipid microparticles produced with mixture of lauric acids (palm kernel oil and babacu oil) and long chain fatty acids (stearic acid and tristearin). Different formulations will be produced, and in vitro digestion experiments will be conducted in an equipment similar to TIM (TNO intestinal model), which can simulate peristaltic movements and is more realistic in terms of pH control and enzyme addition during the simulated digestion processes. The main aim is to compare the static data obtained in Brazil with the dynamic data obtained in TIM system. (AU)
