摘要

HENUFOOD looks forward reduce chronic disease pathologies risk factor and, in this way, improve adult population health, between the range of 45 and 65 years. However, the benefits of this project, based on healthy ingredients and foods development, try to reach the rest of the population from the beginning up to the seniors. The main objective of HENUFOOD is discovering the healthy benefits from aliments using innovative methodologies, and scientifically demonstrate it. That will permit develop value products at nutritional level and demonstrate their health effects. These foods must keep on being foods, and must demonstrate their effects in quantities which are usually consumed in a diet. The project is looking forward determining in a clear way which foods or ingredients are absorbed by the organism and produce the beneficial effect that they are supposed to. This paper will focus on describing the ICT platform developed to support the scientists reach that purpose.
