OUR (FOCUS) ON GOVERNANCE
Kia ora koutou, 2018 was an industrious and very productive year for the Riddet Institute Centre of Research Excellence (CoRE). The Institute’s fulfilment towards its primary goals has been exemplary – and the future is bright for New Zealand’s pre-eminent food science network.
During 2018, there were some changes in Board membership. We said farewell to Professor Tracey McIntosh, who resigned as Māori representative on the Board. We will appoint a new Māori representative in 2019. Peter Landon-Lane also stepped down as the Plant & Food Research representative and was replaced by David Hughes (as the incoming CEO of Plant & Food Research). I extend to both Tracey and Peter my sincere appreciation for their long tenures (2009-2018) and unwavering support for the Institute. I would also like to thank all of the current members for their ongoing advice and support for the Institute.
One of the most significant changes to the Institute’s management in 2018 was the move to a single director, Distinguished Professor Harjinder Singh, supported by Professor Warren McNabb as deputy director. Under their leadership, the Riddet Institute remains strong and the team is committed to its continued success. Outgoing co-director, Distinguished Professor Paul Moughan, took the new position of Fellow Laureate and continues to provide valuable strategic advice. This report demonstrates the depth and breadth of the science they oversee, as well as new developments in collaborative relationships with both researchers and industry, leadership in agrifood strategy and support for Māori initiatives.
It was marvellous to welcome a new member of our Scientific Advisory Panel during the year. Professor Teresa Davis, Baylor College of Medicine, USA visited the Institute twice in 2018. During her first visit to us, she gave a very well received public lecture.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of the Riddet Institute for such a rewarding and diverse year. The achievements in this report are varied and a true reflection of the high-quality research, perseverance and enthusiasm of every member of the team. I was personally delighted to attend the Riddet Institute Summit on ‘Balancing People, Planet and Prosperity’ in Wellington in December to see the strong engagement of attendees from across the food and government sectors and was encouraged by the positive discussion generated.
2018 finished strongly, with news of a technology transfer to the food giant, Nestlé, demonstrating once again that the Riddet Institute is a leading force in food science research, not just in New Zealand but globally.

‘I am very pleased to share our 2018 Annual Report, highlighting our collective achievements and the potential on the horizon.’
Tēnā koutou katoa, it has been a full year since I took the reins as Director of the Riddet Institute and I am delighted with the year’s progress and results. As a team, we have continued to succeed in our key areas of food and nutritional sciences, the training of future leaders, and the strengthening of our academic and industry partnerships and networks.
But we have also forged ahead with renewed areas of interest and new strategic partnerships and directions. This report is full of significant achievements that makes me immensely proud to be the Riddet Institute’s Director and I see a strong future in all our activities.
The Riddet Institute has hit an all-time high number in our PhD students – we have now surpassed 100 with our current group of active scholars. This strength in numbers has resulted in students coming together to collaborate, generate new ideas and create a peer support network. They are eager to learn, progress and go out into industry to connect with future employers through our internship scheme. Observing this group of future food science and industry leaders, I believe we remain in a strong position, not only for 2019 in New Zealand, but also longer term for taking our science to the rest of the world.
Scientific excellence and impact remains a key focus and I am delighted to see international recognition for our science in the last year. Nestlé, the biggest global food company, acquired our iron-fortification technology and we have had major international media interest in our work. There can be no greater reward for a food scientist than seeing your research outcomes making an impact on the world stage. The scientific calibre and reputations of our staff and students remain high, with continued international recognition of their achievements and another excellent year for scientific publications.
The Riddet Institute’s role in national and global thought leadership was
strong in 2018. Our Summit - ‘Balancing People, Planet and Prosperity’ - in December was a highlight of the week we spent with Professor Louise O. Fresco, President of Wageningen University & Research, The Netherlands. We hosted lectures for public dissemination of scientific knowledge and strove to lead in new research areas with new collaborators.
Our relationships with the New Zealand food industry and research partners remains strong and has progressed in new directions over the year. Our strategic partnership with AgResearch has been further strengthened, with the new AgResearch-Massey University Food Science Facility on the Massey University campus nearing completion. Our new Māori agribusiness collaborators have sought our knowledge and expertise, and have joined us in our significant MBIE-funded Milk Means More (NZ3M) programme. These new partnerships present new challenges, new scientific areas to explore and opportunities to contribute to the greater Māori economy and communities.
We greatly appreciate our Scientific Advisory Panel for its input and advice on our science programme and we would like to thank the Board for its continuing support and encouragement.

Riddet Institute hosted visit of the leader of the world’s best agrifood universityThe Riddet Institute was proud to host the President of the world’s leading agrifood university, Professor Louise O. Fresco, who visited New Zealand in December. A significant highlight, the visit was an important milestone in the relationship between Wageningen University, the Riddet Institute and Massey University. The Riddet Institute has a special relationship with Wageningen University, a collaboration that has lasted over 30 years and continues to grow each year.
Milk Means More (NZ3M) funding successThe Riddet Institute was awarded $11,268,560 in MBIE Endeavour Funding, for their research project Milk Means More (NZ3M). The project is a collaboration between the Riddet Institute, Massey University School of Food and Advanced Technology, AgResearch and the University of Auckland. The project was co-developed with The a2 Milk Company, The Dairy Goat Cooperative, Fonterra, Landcorp, Maui Milk, Miraka, NIG Nutritionals, Spring Sheep Milk Co. and Synlait.
Distinguished Professor Paul Moughan receives research medalThe Netherlands’ top university and world leader in food science research, Wageningen University & Research, has awarded its silver medal to a Riddet Institute Fellow Laureate, Distinguished Professor Paul Moughan. This is in recognition of his long and distinguished career in protein science. He is the only honouree outside the university to receive the Wageningen Silver Medal since international recipient Kofi Annan, Secretary-General United Nations, in 2008.
Top honours for Riddet Institute researchers2018 saw researchers receive prestigious awards for their work. Distinguished Professor Harjinder Singh became the first New Zealander to receive the American Dairy Science Association Distinguished Service Award. Professor R. Paul Singh received an honorary doctorate from Guelph University in recognition of his contribution to research; Dr Nigel Larsen received a lifetime achievement award for his contribution to food science; and Professor Clive Davies became the only New Zealander to become a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
Riddet Institute Agrifood SummitThe Riddet Institute hosted a national Agrifood Summit attended by food industry leaders, food scientists and governmental policy advisors in December. The delegates discussed the notion of feeding the growing world population, dealing with an obesity and nutritional crisis, and how New Zealand is going to take its place as a key food producer (see page 31).
Landmark study in the LancetRiddet Institute researchers Professor Mann, Dr Te Morenga and Ms Mete received global media attention with their article in the Lancet entitled ‘Carbohydrate quality and human health: a series of systematic reviews and meta analyses’ (see page 29). Their conclusions regarding the role of fibre in a healthy diet were reported by over 50 news media outlets, including on the front page of The Times. Their review will form the basis of new WHO healthy eating guidelines.
Building work started on new food research facilityBuilding started in February on the $45 million AgResearch and Massey University Food Science Facility, which will accommodate staff and students from the two organisations, as well as the Riddet Institute. This new food research facility will be New Zealand's largest and will feature laboratories and shared spaces focused around education and research into meat and dairy in a three-storey building.
Nestlé acquires Riddet Institute technologyGlobal food company Nestlé has acquired a novel technology developed by Riddet Institute scientists that will enable it to address iron deficiency - the world’s most important nutritional deficiency, affecting over 1.6 billion people (see page 29). This technology transfer indicates the strong working relationship developed with Nestlé, and its interest in the food science and nutrition research capability at the Riddet Institute.
Marsden Fund successRiddet Institute researchers Professor Jameson and Professor Williams received $935,000 from the Royal Society Te Apārangi Marsden Fund in November. The project, ‘Pectin methylesterases: tuning pectin function with complex variations upon a simple theme’, will look at structural components of plant cells to create 'designer' pectins with potential applications across biotechnology. The group will apply state-of-the-art biophysical techniques, including optical tweezers (see page 18), and X-ray diffraction.

STRATEGY
MĀORI
The Riddet Institute refreshed its Māori strategy in 2018. We are committed to supporting the academic and economic success of Māori by building strategic alliances within the Māori agrifood economy and by providing our technical know-how to the research and development activities of Māori enterprises.
OUR (FOCUS) ON MĀORI STRATEGY
The Riddet Institute is committed to helping promote Māori success. The Institute has been building connections and strategic alliances with Māori groups to offer R&D expertise and, through the Institute’s networks, offering support to Māori-led education initiatives.
Supporting Māori Success
The Riddet Institute refreshed its Māori Strategic Framework in 2018, looking to support the success of Māori by deepening its engagement with iwi, hapū, organisations and individuals. The refocused framework better defines how the Institute can contribute to agrifood innovation, thereby supporting Māori businesses and the subsequent growth of Māori communities. We refined the goals and actions that will facilitate the Institute to realise its Treaty of Waitangi commitments by promoting both commercial and academic
development for Māori and, through a co-design process, ensuring that our activities are grounded in kaupapa Māori.
The Riddet Institute is joining in meaningful opportunities that help to encourage Māori to pursue education in food science and nutrition (and careers in food research or the food industry). In addition, the Institute has continued to explore new ways of collaborating on key partner initiatives facilitating Māori aspirations and success. This not only supports our Māori strategy but also continues to build our critical mass in food science and nutrition to underpin the New Zealand food industry. In November 2018, we initiated summer scholarships at the Universities of Otago and Victoria to encourage Māori participation in food sciences and related disciplines (see page 33) and we will offer further Māori scholarships and projects at our partner universities in 2019 and beyond. We also contributed to SING Aotearoa’s residential learning scheme for Māori with an interest in genomics, held at Massey University.
We are establishing strategic working relationships with a number of Māori businesses and business clusters. Our relationships with Māori organisations are in various stages of development and we will provide strategic scientific guidance for each organisation, dependent on their individual needs. The end of 2018 saw significant progress in our Māori relationships, which will continue to be developed and enriched over the coming months.

Our critical mass of high-achieving food science and related scientists, fostering inter-disciplinary and inter-institutional collaborations, both in New Zealand and around the world, provides fundamental scientific understanding and generates knowledge to transform the New Zealand food industry.
Natural foods have evolved to create an assembly of complex, hierarchical structures. Foods are inherently complex in nature and behave very differently from the ideal systems studied within chemistry and physics.
Many of the nutrients and physiologically active substances in foods are contained within these complex matrices. Food structure therefore plays a large part in influencing nutrient bioavailability (liberating trapped nutrients in absorbable form for the human body to use), rates of absorption and, often, health outcomes. In addition, the breakdown of the food matrix is a major controlling factor for the perception of texture and flavour in the mouth.
Fundamental food structure studies are the mainstay of food science research at the Riddet Institute. The modification of food structures during food-processing operations and the behaviour of both natural and processed structures in the environments of the human oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract are our main areas of interest. Quantifying the relationship between structural attributes and product functionality, in particular the dynamic aspects of the release of nutrients and bioactive compounds, is crucial for food product design. The main challenge in understanding these complex structures is to
identify the key structural elements, their interactions and how they change continuously with time and with the external environment during processing and storage and, most importantly, during eating and digestion. This underpinning knowledge, using sophisticated analytical tools, strongly integrates with all the other research projects. The concept of ‘food structure design’ has never been more important, particularly in relation to developing foods with reduced levels of fat, salt and sugar for example, or using alternative ingredients or raw materials. Structuring food in such a way that bulk properties and in-mouth behaviour remain stable, with no compromise on product acceptability, is vital for meeting the challenge of producing foods explicitly for a new generation of health attributes.
Leading scientists, together with emerging young scientists drawn from different disciplines and
across partner organisations, collaborate to harness the tools of the physical sciences and engineering to understand complex problems in food science. Several investigators are Principal Investigators and Associate Investigators with the MacDiarmid Institute and the Maurice Wilkins Centre, providing excellent synergies among CoREs. Fundamental scientists working in areas such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), mass spectrometry (MS) and X-ray diffraction work together with New Zealand’s leading food science and engineering teams to advance our understanding of food materials. The platform involves a number of active international collaborations with leading scientists from the Quadram Institute, University of Cambridge and University of Leeds (UK), INRA and Université de Picardie (France), USDA and Ohio State University (USA), and the University of British Colombia (Canada).

OUR (FOCUS) ON WORLD-CLASS SCIENCE
Riddet Institute scientists have been exploring techniques to investigate single molecule or single particle interactions within foods. Optical tweezers provide leaps in our understanding of how these systems behave. Applied to food systems, this information could lead to revolutionary new understanding for structure and design.
One aspiration of food research is to be able to look at interactions within food at a molecular level. In the field of biophysics, we can increasingly examine molecules such as DNA and proteins. But the challenge for the Riddet Institute is more complex – can we do experiments on single molecules of polysaccharides to be able to understand their interactions? Could we look at the interactions of oil or fat droplets within a milk or yoghurt system? A cross-CoRE collaboration and ground-breaking research have made great step changes in our experimental techniques.
Emulsions are a very common structure within foods. Yoghurt, milk and ice cream are all
emulsions – oil or fat distributed in a water-based environment, stabilized by molecules at the oil-water interface. Using optical tweezers, scientists at the Riddet Institute have been able to examine droplet interactions within emulsions.
Optical tweezers manipulate small pieces of matter – particularly small dielectric objects, approximately one micron (1 x 10-6 m) in size. Particles are held or moved via a laser beam trap. Using a spatial light modulator that splits the laser beam, it is possible to hold
several emulsion droplets within the same sample. The droplets can be moved to interact with each other and various measures taken – such as the forces acting between the droplets as they approach one another (electrostatic repulsion)1,2, the micro-rheological properties of the surrounding solution, or the frequency of interaction once they become close (‘stickiness’)3. If fluidics is also applied, we can observe these forces as the conditions for the droplets change – for example with changes in temperature, salt concentration, pH or the proportion of solid fat in the droplets.

Figure 2: RG1 twisted strands. Figure 3: RG1 branched chain.
The significance of this work is twofold – the individual interactions are critically important for the design of food emulsions, but the repetition of measurements of that interaction over hundreds of times becomes possible with automation. The small variations in the interactions are measured - and differences between oil drop forces indicate variation between surface coverage and homogeneity of the emulsifier at the interface or different sizes in the drops themselves. Critical for researchers is the understanding of individual interactions, leading to the emergence of ensemble behaviour, and then the entire system. This groundbreaking combination of optical tweezers, microfluidics, automation and image analysis, becoming a routine molecular engineering technique, is a big breakthrough for understanding many materials and has been submitted for publication4.
Imagine if we could use optical tweezers to look at the mechanical properties of food molecules like polysaccharide, pectin or starch? Or see how enzymes break them down in the gut? To examine this molecular level interaction, a long chain molecule that is microns in length is required. We found it in Arabidopsis or rockcress, a member of the mustard (Brassicaceae) family, which includes cabbage and radish. Dehydrated Arabidopsis seeds expel mucilage (a viscous liquid) when hydrated in water and the major component of this is a polysaccharide called rhamnogalacturonan 1 (or RG1). RG1 is a long molecule with a single chain that is microns long – exactly what our new technique requires.
Dr Jenny Malmstrom, University of Auckland and the MacDiarmid Institute, assisted with the characterization of RG1 using atomic force microscopy (AFM), while Dr Ian Sims at the Ferrier Institute helped with analytical chemistry and Dr Helen North at INRA in France added the biology expertise to examine seeds from plants with specific mutations. The examination of RG1 with AFM
provided some very unusual and intriguing results. RG1 displays complex intermolecular arrangements. Figure 2 shows RG1 strands twisted together in a rope-like structure. This hierarchical or higher order structure is very common in nature, in collagen for example, but has not been seen before with these polysaccharides. Further exploration reveals that RG1 can also exist in specific branched chain arrangements (Figure 3), implying that polysaccharide structures are more complex than originally thought.
Our scientists are continuing to examine these structures to see if they are functional in the plant, with enormous implications for established plant cell biology if these polysaccharides are generated within the cell wall. Within the Riddet Institute, our investigations continue to understand the molecular arrangements through modelling and molecular dynamics simulations, and testing molecular interactions with optical tweezers. Ultimately, the goal is to exploit or adapt the molecules for use in new food structures, or as additives to assist in the hydration/dehydration of foods themselves.

MOLECULAR INTERACTIONS IN MILK
OUR (FOCUS) ON WORLD-CLASS SCIENCE
ß-Lactoglobulin is one of the most intensively studied proteins within milk, as its properties are key to the functionality of many foods, such as yoghurt. Although ß-lactoglobulin is present in all non-human sources of milk – cows, sheep, goats, horses and reindeer – it is absent in human milk. Despite extensive study, the physiological function of ß-lactoglobulin in its host animals remains unclear. As a foreign protein, ß-lactoglobulin sometimes elicits unwanted immunological reactions in people consuming milk or milk products.
Researchers at the Riddet Institute, with their collaborators, have developed a new technique to study the interactions of ß-lactoglobulin in goat milk, including the potential to identify the molecular interaction partner, if any, of ß-lactoglobulin within milk itself. Professor Ren Dobson (University of Canterbury), Professor Geoff Jameson (Massey University), Dr Ali Hodgkinson (AgResearch) and Professor Tom Laue (University of New Hampshire) study goat milk, for its reported lowered immunogenicity compared with cow’s milk.
Riddet Institute doctoral student Jennifer Crowther (now a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Edinburgh – see page 36) prepared
fluorescently labelled goat and cow ß-lactoglobulin (Figure 1). The fluorescently labelled ß-lactoglobulin was seeded into milk solutions containing native ß-lactoglobulin. By choosing the right energies to excite and detect fluorescence, she could then observe only the fluorescently labelled molecules, even in a complex mixture. Using a technique called analytical ultracentrifugation, samples are spun at very high speed (generating forces up to 200,000 times gravity). Under such forces, proteins and their partners sediment according to their weight. The fluorescent tag allows researchers to see if ß-lactoglobulin sediments alone or with partner molecules. This technique enables
researchers to study complex real systems with pinpoint precision.
The results suggest that ß-lactoglobulin has a partner molecule – or a family of partner molecules of similar size. The challenge then is to identify the partner with which ß-lactoglobulin interacts. With a variety of techniques, the team has tentatively identified that ß-lactoglobulin interacts with immunoglobulins (antibodies that detect antigens). This is a particularly exciting result, as, although researchers suspected that such an interaction might be important to the altered properties of goat milk, this interaction had not hitherto been observed in a real milk situation.
Figure 1: Structure of goat ß-lactoglobulin at 1.17 Å resolution [Crowther et al.FEBS Lett 588(21), 3816-3812(2014); Eur Biophys J 47(7),739-750 (2018)]. This is by farthe most precisely andaccurately determined ß-lactoglobulin structure, revealing features of ß-lactoglobulin that had been previously poorly identified.A. The ß-lactoglobulin structure shows considerable conservation of structure of the monomer (left-hand frame), but considerable plasticity of structure for the canonical dimer (right-hand frame). 4TLJ is goat ß-lactoglobulin.B.

METABOLISM AND NUTRITION
RESEARCH EXAMPLE / 04
The relationship between diet and health is well established. With non-communicable diseases on the rise, and rising obesity rates both globally and within New Zealand, Riddet Institute research relating to the refining of dietary guidelines is increasingly crucial.
Dietary interventions are a tool in the fight to keep our nations healthy and clear scientifically supported advice is not always paramount. Riddet Institute research examines how the delivery of nutrients from natural
GlucoTRIG™ will provide a classification of foods for healthiness, according to their ability to influence triglyceride and insulin levels post meal consumption.
The GlucoTRIG™ - consisting of both glycaemic (glucose sugar) and lipaemic (fat)
and processed foods influences metabolic outcomes. The research will ultimately enable the refining of dietary guidelines and the development of functional foods to enhance human health. Recent research on carbohydrates, dietary fibre and whole grain intake received global attention in the media (see page 29), and will be included in the WHO dietary guidelines review.
Research in this area typically involves studies in which the effects of macro- and micro-nutrients on established disease
responses - might be an improved physiologically relevant tool compared with the glycaemic index (GI) to rank meals for reducing the risk of metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Various indices have been developed to provide an estimate of macronutrients (fats, carbohydrates and protein) and their effects on metabolism to determine the healthiness of foods. Our research is developing criteria that may provide a better overall understanding of the healthiness of a meal, rather than an individual nutrient.
Existing indices such as the GI are based on a single macronutrient (carbohydrate). However, we rarely consume foods containing single nutrients.
biomarkers are measured. A limited number of studies have examined the relationship between nutrients and clinical outcomes (i.e. disease). Our human intervention studies examine the effects of food structure, rates of delivery of nutrients, genetic/phenotypic knowledge and bioactives and their interactions on metabolic cascades, leading to the treatment and prevention of non-communicable diseases, and the determinants of appetite, satiety and body weight management, including obesity and the metabolic syndrome.
Instead, snacks or meals with two or more macronutrients make up the daily diet. The metabolic response of meals differs depending upon the relative proportions of macronutrients. The major limitation is that the GI for meals is not reflective of the additive value of the GIs for single foods. In contrast, the quantity and composition of the fat in foods or meals is neglected. GlucoTRIG™ aims to best capture this complex metabolic process into a single equation that involves the hormone that regulates macronutrient metabolism (insulin) and a nutrient (triacylglycerol) that can vary greatly with the composition of the diet.

OUR (FOCUS) ON WORLD-CLASS SCIENCE
There are complex interactions between food, the gut microbiota, gastrointestinal motility, food breakdown, enzymatic digestion and the transport of digestive contents on nutrient uptake in humans. The Riddet Institute develops advanced mathematical and physical models of the human mouth, the gastrointestinal tract and the microbiota, and combines this with novel experimental techniques and instrumentation to validate each of the models.
To date, much of the understanding of the role of foods and food components in nutrition and health has necessarily come from studies of individual food components and properties. But, in reality, foods are more than 'the sum of their parts' and foods and food components do not act in isolation. Foods interact within meals and diets. There are also complex interactions among the food, the gut mucosa and the resident gut microbiota. The Riddet Institute places more emphasis on whole
foods and dietary patterns and, importantly, how they work in synergy. So rather than nutrients alone, to obtain a better understanding of physiological and nutritional outcomes, greater understanding of the significant role of complex food structures and their interactions within diets is needed. Components released during the digestion of a set of foods interact to create a unique physicochemical environment that influences digestion, microbial metabolism, uptake and the availability of nutrients and bioactives.
A major aim of this research is to develop an understanding of these complex interactions within a systems perspective. Meaningful metrics and indices of the properties of whole foods and diets and their behaviour in the digestive tract are being developed at the Riddet Institute. The relationship between these measures and metabolic, physiological outcomes and biomarkers related to human health are the subject of other programmes within the CoRE.
Our researchers have a strong record of accomplishment in this area, having contributed to the development of dietary measures such as the digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS), physiological (ATP) energy, physiological fibre, glycaemic load, glycaemic glucose equivalents (GGEs), diet fermentability and digesta rheological measures.
By combining food structural, physiological and modelling approaches, the Riddet Institute has made considerable progress. By extending this inter-disciplinary approach by including nutritional physiology and modelling teams, even greater progress will come in the future.

OUR (FOCUS) ON WORLD-CLASS SCIENCE
The Riddet Institute has brought together food engineers and mechatronics researchers to advance the development of physical models of food digestion. These physical models mimic both the chemical and physical environments that foods experience in the human digestive tract and provide enhanced tools for the study of the interactions between food structure and nutrient release.
Eating begins in the breakdown of food structure within the mouth during chewing. Structural breakdown in the mouth involves controlled compression and shear of food by the teeth, while adding and mixing in saliva. Depending on the meal size, a swallowed bolus (that ball-like mixture of food and saliva) can undergo starch breakdown by the enzyme salivary amylase in the fundus – the expandable top part of the stomach. Disintegration of the food into separate particles occurs in the acidic, gastric environment of the antral region of the stomach. Individual food
particles travelling through the stomach are subjected to both enzyme and acidic activities and shear forces, because of the peristaltic (symmetrical wave-like contraction and relaxation of intestinal muscles) mixing in the stomach to break them down even further. After escaping the stomach, nutrient absorption is dependent on the flow regimes occurring in the intestine.
In the published literature, in-vitro tests are widely used to study food breakdown and nutrient release. Although these methods are very useful to link
food composition and structure to aspects of digestion, they generally lack replication of the physical environment that foods encounter throughout the digestive tract.
Our groundbreaking research within the Riddet Institute includes:
1. A ROBOTIC CHEWING SIMULATOR that can simulate human mastication, including the stresses imposed on foods and the repositioning of food on the teeth and with adaptive jaw trajectory, has been constructed.
1. A soft ROBOTIC SYSTEM to mimic oesophageal phase swallowing.
1. An actuated STOMACH SIMULATOR with a controlled emptying rate that mimics the mixing and shear forces applied to foods.
1. An INTESTINAL SIMULATOR to simulate the peristaltic actuated mixing and its influence on nutrient adsorption.
A key advantage of all of these physical simulators is the ability to add instruments to collect real time data that are difficult or impossible to measure in human or animal subjects. During this research, we have adopted advances in soft robotics, developed novel actuation or movement within these models and added sensing and control technologies. This paves the way for the development of next-generation digestive simulators in the future.

Proteins are a key component of any diet, and one essential amino acid, tryptophan, is the focus of a large study at the Riddet Institute. Tryptophan is a large essential amino acid, meaning that our body
cannot produce it, and it must be obtained through our diet. Tryptophan is an important amino acid as it is a precursor for serotonin and melatonin – a vital neurotransmitter and hormone produced in the brain - involved in the regulation of mood, cognitive function and sleep. Some sources of tryptophan include milk, eggs, fish, red meat, soy and sesame seeds. However, ß-lactalbumin is a milk protein with a tryptophan content higher than that of any other food.
An interest of Riddet Institute research into proteins is the metabolism of tryptophan. Can we increase tryptophan, serotonin and melatonin concentrations in the brain by
the consumption of ß-lactalbumin? Our unique study, using an in vivo model for the adult human, will systematically analyse the metabolic pathway of tryptophan following ß-lactalbumin consumption compared with other proteins. Our team, with collaborators from the US (Professor John D. Fernstrom), will produce data on the digestion, absorption and metabolism of tryptophan in the gut, the liver, the brain and the bloodstream after protein intake. We have the eventual aim to develop nutritional strategies to improve mental health. This landmark study will produce significant findings that will result in novel academic publications.

Food breakdown in the mouth is the first stage of digestion. Our individual chewing behaviour affects the rate of structure breakdown and the incorporation of saliva. These in turn influence the release of solute and aromas (taste and smell), perceived texture and the state of the swallowed food entering our stomach.
Gastric digestion processes depend not only on the structure and composition of this swallowed material, but also on gastric secretions and fluid mixing via the contractions of the stomach. Nutrient absorption into the
bloodstream depends on mixing and mass transport in the small intestine.
Riddet Institute researchers are creating mechanistic models to predict these structural and chemical changes and their influence on nutrient release throughout oral processing and the gastrointestinal tract. We have developed mechanistic models of oral processing to predict particle breakage, saliva addition and aroma release. We have built computational models of the stomach and intestine by coupling electromechanical dynamics (nerve impulses to stimulate muscle contraction) to
motion of the stomach walls and the resulting fluid mixing of its contents. Modelling of the nutrient transfer from the fluid in the intestine, via the fluid-filled space or interstitium of the intestine wall and then to the blood, then becomes possible. Our aim is ultimately to predict how blood nutrient levels (such as blood glucose) change over time after a meal. All of our models are subject to experimental validation - proving the prediction accuracy of the model by comparison against real data. To do this, we collect both in-vitro and in-vivo data on digestion and absorption at each stage of the digestive tract.

STRUCTURING FOODS FOR OPTIMAL FUNCTIONALITY AND HEALTH
RESEARCH EXAMPLE / 08
Research activity relating to the digestion of food materials has increased in the last two decades. Investigations into assembled food systems with predetermined digestive behaviours, and their delivery of required in-body functionality, are becoming important in food product design.
Curcumin is a compound found within the spice turmeric, a member of the ginger family. This compound has received renewed interest in recent years because of its health benefits - anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antibacterial and antioxidant. It is now the subject of a significant study at the Riddet Institute.
If you take curcumin for its well-studied beneficial effects, is it an effective way to assist your body in its repair naturally?
Utilising the fundamental knowledge from the other research projects within the Riddet Institute, this cross-disciplinary, integrative research seeks to understand the gastrointestinal tract processing of lipid (fat)- or protein-based foods, both of which are a particular area of research strength within the Institute. It is essential to
A recent study at the Riddet Institute examined different sources of curcumin and its metabolism on uptake and absorption. The study asked participants to consume three types of curcumin sources - natural turmeric, turmeric powder and isolated curcumin - and monitored how much of the active component (curcumin) reached the bloodstream (bioavailability). Increasing the levels of curcumin in the blood makes the compound more effective for human health and is a target for supplement manufacturers and food producers.
The results indicate that the environment surrounding the active component is crucial for effective delivery. Curcumin is lipophilic – meaning that it is carried in fat or lipids. There were enormous statistical differences between the levels of blood curcumin between the natural turmeric and the isolated

curcumin. But the blood curcumin levels were highest when consumed as a turmeric powder, suggesting that the curcumin cells within the turmeric influence its bioavailability (see Figure 1). Other compounds alongside curcumin may also increase its uptake. This knowledge provides a great leap in understanding how curcumin is absorbed and indicates that food product design is paramount when delivering an active component.

IMPAC
TThe Riddet Institute has enhanced capacity for food research and innovation to support the agrifood sector. We seek to support the food industry, to inform and engage in leading-edge research and debate, and to catalyse innovation for competitive advantage.
OUR (FOCUS) ON IMPACT
Global Recognition of Riddet Institute Research
The world’s most important nutritional deficiency is iron deficiency anaemia, with over 1.6 billion people affected. Our goal was not only to address iron deficiency, but also to address it without impacting the food product quality. The Riddet Institute developed a novel protein-iron complex using food-grade materials and a unique processing method. The complex has substantially superior functionality compared with other products in the market. It provides advantages over other sources of iron present in foods, including ferrous sulphate, the recognised leading iron supplement.
The interest from the largest food company to solve a major global health problem signifies our contribution to world-class research in this area. There is potential for strong working relationships in the future with Nestlé, and its interest in the food science and nutrition research capability at the Riddet Institute.
Nestlé head of nutrition, health and wellness Petra Klassen Wigger says, ‘At Nestlé, we believe that we have a key role to play in support of global efforts to tackle the burden of micronutrient deficiencies. Through this collaboration, we will have access to an innovative
technology that enables us to effectively fortify our foods and beverages without compromising the quality and taste.’
Global food company Nestlé acquired a novel technology developed by Riddet Institute scientists in 2018 that will enable it to address global iron deficiency. The unique technology, FERRI PRO™, was developed to address iron deficiency, without adversely affecting the taste of food and beverages.
The Riddet Institute received global media attention in 2018 from a study published in the world's most prestigious general medical journal, The Lancet. The study, authored by Riddet Institute Associate Investigator Dr Lisa Te Morenga, Principal Investigator Jim Mann and PhD student Evelyn Mete, highlighted the health benefits of dietary fibre and whole grain intake. The WHO healthy eating
guidelines are being reviewed based on this evidence, which is in conflict with several diets that recommend curbing the amount of carbohydrate eaten per day.
This study leads to the recommendation that 25g to 29g of fibre a day is needed to reduce the risk of disease, with indications that over 30g is even better. Most people in the world manage less than 20g. The series of systematic reviews and meta
analyses identified that higher intakes of fibre and whole grains were associated with reduced incidence of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers and reduced mortality, body weight and total cholesterol.

OUR (FOCUS) ON IMPACT
In July, the Institute appointed Melanie Ruffell to a newly created role, Stakeholder Relationship Manager, dedicated to growing and supporting partners of the Riddet Institute. As such, the Institute has significantly extended its reach to new corners of the agrifood sector together with its ability to demonstrate value. Māori strategic partners help the Riddet Institute to support the success of Māori in meaningful ways, such as embedding mātauranga Māori in the Institute’s research programme, and enabling it to build relevant links with Māori iwi, hapū and wider communities.
The Riddet Institute’s work provides clear examples, through published impact cases, of how
industry has gained considerable value from the Institute’s thought leadership and pioneering research. The Institute-industry strategic relationships benefit New Zealand in two critical ways. Firstly, by marrying the Institute’s world-leading scientific excellence and technological expertise with industry’s market insights and ability to commercialise research. New Zealand’s right to play as a global leader in high-value foods with export success is underpinned with a pipeline of cutting edge innovation - thereby future-proofing the economic success of New Zealand’s primary sector. Secondly, these partnerships provide deeper benefits at the socio-cultural and grass-roots levels.
Through generating meaningful training and career opportunities, via our industry partners, the Institute aims to inspire and support all of Aotearoa New Zealand’s young people on their journey from education to employment. Strategic partners align with the Riddet Institute’s mission to train tomorrow’s R&D leaders and contribute by offering Riddet students industry experience through the Institute’s internship scheme.
Strategic Relationship Management
During 2018, the Riddet Institute heightened its focus on strategic industry partnerships, through deepening its long-standing collaborations as well as seeking new relationships with aligned SMEs and Māori agribusinesses.

OUR (FOCUS) ON IMPACT
The 2018 Riddet Institute Summit brought together recognised local and global thought leaders to spark conversation on the future of global food production.
The delegates discussed feeding the growing world population, dealing with an obesity and nutritional crisis, and how New Zealand is going to take its place as a key food producer.
With the world’s population predicted to increase to 8.5 billion over the next 20 years, food-producing nations like New Zealand face new challenges. Yet, arguably, primary industry food production has never been under greater threat because of perceptions of the social and environmental costs of animal-based agriculture and the rise of synthetic or ‘clean meat’ and plant-based proteins. New Zealand is producing enough food and beverages annually for over five times our population but global food systems are being challenged to nutritiously and sustainably feed everyone.
The Summit included renowned
international speakers: Professor Louise O. Fresco, President of Wageningen University & Research, and Professor Robert L. Thompson, University of Illinois, USA. The international speakers outlined the issues facing the primary industries such as a growing urbanised global population, sustainable food production systems, changing diets, diversifying the agricultural economy, availability of agricultural land and the impact of global warming on food-producing nations.
Speakers from New Zealand highlighted the advantages of disruption and opportunities for New Zealand to improve our standing as a food nation, where innovation and diversifying agricultural products is an advantage. Hon Steve Maharey, Fonterra’s Mark Piper and KPMG’s Julia Jones say that there are possibilities for advancing New Zealand’s role from food production distribution both locally and globally, to generating more value-added products from raw
materials, as well as novel meat substitutes, plant proteins, insect products and alternative dairy or complementary sources. At the heart of the opportunity is the changing face of consumers, their acceptance of these technologies and their nutritional advantages.
The discussion of balancing the needs of global food production with sustainable processes or environmental regeneration in manufacture continued. Each of the speakers highlighted the need for government policy and support and Lain Jager outlined the direction of policy in the area.
Distinguished Professor Harjinder Singh, Riddet Institute Director, said, ‘This exciting Summit really showed the breadth of discussion on responsible food production for a growing world and how New Zealand is at the forefront of innovation in the agrifood area. The Riddet Institute is delighted to be able to offer a series of these thought-provoking summits and continues to support collaboration across the country to deliver scientific excellence in all areas of food science and nutrition.’
The Riddet Institute Summit 2018: Balancing People, Planet and Prosperity
The Riddet Institute plays a national role to raise awareness about key global issues related to agrifood and brings outstanding international researchers and speakers to New Zealand. Our biennial Summit, held on 6th December 2018, was a timely exploration of this subject and sought to discuss an emerging and clear emergency affecting both our food industry and our policy in the future.

Māori Summer Students
Four Māori undergraduate students experienced food science research first hand during the summer. The students took part in the Māori Student Summer Research Scholarship Scheme. Tea Hunia (Ko Whakatohea me Ngai Tai toku iwi ), Rebecca Hourigan (Ngāti Kahungunu iwi) and Rian Sanerive ( Ngāti Tuwharetoa, Ngāti Awa iwi) all accepted the scholarship at the University of Otago and Te Mapihi Tutua-Nathan (Ngāti Tuwharetoa, Ngāti Awa iwi) at Victoria University.
The students describe the experience as rewarding, a valuable opportunity to learn and to write scientific reports. Students at the University of Otago - supervised by Dr Dominic Agyei and Fiona Nyhof and supported by Associate Dean Māori, Dr Tracy Perry - experienced scientific research and learnt new skills. The students worked on projects that they selected from those offered
at the University and were able to apply theories they learned to solve real problems. All three students, at different stages of their university journey, selected an area of research with which they were not familiar and in which they had varying levels of experience. However, they each reported the value and the impact of the experience to their future study.
Rebecca, Tea and Rian all worked on aspects of flaxseed research. Rebecca studied enzymes that can release beneficial compounds, antioxidants that help in the fight against cancer, from flaxseed proteins. Conversely, Tea studied the rheology of flaxseed polysaccharides or mucilage in various conditions for their potential as an ingredient or additive in foods. Rian examined bioactive peptides in flaxseed, with the aim of discovering peptides that had immune-enhancing properties.
Supervisor Dr Dominic Agyei says that this scholarship was very timely. ‘It allowed us to simultaneously broaden the research we do at the Department (of Food Science) on flaxseed and, at the same time, to train undergraduate students in research methods.’ Dominic says, ‘the supervisors acknowledge that the students have performed remarkably well and, being the first group of Māori summer students to be sponsored by the Riddet Institute, we believe this cohort has set a high standard for the coming years.’
Dr Tracy Perry supported the students through their experience and believes that this is a wonderful opportunity for tauira Māori. ‘It is clear how enormously valuable the scholarship and research has been. I am grateful that this Riddet Institute scholarship was available for them and would like to see it continue.’ The Riddet Institute Māori Student Summer Research Scholarship Scheme will continue to be offered to partner universities each summer.
The Riddet Institute is committed to supporting education opportunities for Māori, particularly within food science and related disciplines. We specialise in growing New Zealand’s capability and capacity for food research and innovation, and we are very pleased to be able to offer summer scholarships to allow young Māori students to explore career and subject options.

Ms Meg Wedlock was appointed as Finance Administrator.
Professor Tracey McIntosh resigned as Māori representative on the Board; a new member will be appointed in 2019. Peter Landon-Lane stepped down as the Plant & Food Research representative and was replaced by David Hughes (incoming CEO). We extend to both Tracey and Peter our sincere appreciation for their long tenures (2009-2018) and unwavering support for the Institute.
Distinguished Professor Harjinder Singh was appointed sole Director of the Riddet Institute effective 1 January 2018. He stepped down from his position as Head of Massey Institute of Food Science and Technology on 28 February 2018.
Distinguished Professor Paul Moughan stepped down as Co-Director of the Riddet Institute at the end of 2017. In recognition of his past and ongoing contributions, he accepted the position of Riddet Institute Fellow Laureate. As such, Professor Moughan will provide high-level strategic advice to the Institute and related parties on
an invited basis. He will remain a Principal Investigator in the CoRE and retain a close connection to the Institute through his leadership of key projects such as Proteos and the Massey-Alpha Natural Nutraceuticals Research Centre.
David Hughes was appointed CEO of Plant & Food Research in February 2018 and joined the Riddet Institute Board shortly after. David was formerly Group General Manager Commercial, Plant & Food Research, responsible for the company's marketing, business development and IP functions. David has also worked extensively in the dairy industry. We look forward to his contribution.
