Background Food digestion rate and location within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are
important for human health. Ideally, food digestion studies should be performed in vivo but …

The sensory experience of eating is an important determinant of food intake control, often
attributed to the positive hedonic response associated with certain sensory cues. However …

Application of bioactive phytochemicals in foods, supplements, and pharmaceuticals is often
limited because of their poor solubility, stability, and bioavailability. Phytochemical oral …

The positive effects of dietary fibre on health are now widely recognised; however, our
understanding of the mechanisms involved in producing such benefits remains unclear …

In recent times, phytochemicals encapsulated or conjugated with nanocarriers for delivery to
the specific sites have gained considerable research interest. Phytochemicals are mostly …

Oral administration is the most common route of drug delivery. The absorption of a drug from
the gut into the bloodstream involves disintegration of the solid dosage form, dissolution of …

This article reviews the major physiological and physicochemical principles of the effect of
food and gastrointestinal (GI) pH on the absorption and bioavailability of oral drugs, and the …

In this review, recent reports on in vitro starch hydrolysis kinetics are reviewed with regard to
the structural characteristics of starches. Factors such as starch granule morphology …

Accurate prediction of the in vivo biopharmaceutical performance of oral drug formulations is
critical to efficient drug development. Traditionally, in vitro evaluation of oral drug …

Pharmaceutical solid oral dosage forms must undergo dissolution in the intestinal fluids of
