Background: The global obesity epidemic and increasing incidences of metabolic diseases have been correlated to increased consumption of fat, sugar, and salt. In response, many food scientists are developing food products with reduced levels of sugar, fat and/or salt. However, knowledge of composition-structure-property relation-ships of foods is critical to create high-quality products that are well accepted by consumers. Moreover, food processing may increase the digestion rates of nutrients by breaking down food structures, thereby making them more readily digestible and absorbable.
Scope and approach: This review provides an overview of the mechanisms and expected effects of using structural design approaches to reduce the levels or retard the digestibility of nutrients associated with negative health impacts (especially fats, carbohydrates and salt) in processed foods. Key findings and conclusions: There are a number of design approaches that may be applied to food in order to make them less energy-dense or with reduced digestion rates of key nutrients, while not affecting much their
sensory appeal to consumers.
