NERDT, a new biomimetic in vitro digester

In order to study food digestion in humans, research teams are developing artificial digesters that enable food digestion to be studied under standardized, reproducible conditions. The NEar Real Digestive Tract (NERDT) is a new-generation dynamic biomimetic digester consisting of a life-size silicone stomach that simulates stomach contractions.

VEG&LAIT mobilizes on participating farms!

Blandine Renault and Maïté de Sainte-Agathe, PhD students at UMR Agronomie, and Gabrielle Jagorel, contract research engineer at UMR STLO, joined the VEG&LAIT project consortium in September 2024. They are working respectively on the integration of pulses into dairy production systems, and on the use of flours or concentrates from such crops in innovative recipes. Over the past few months, they have been able to take part in training courses and workshops on the Invitation à la Ferme network farms involved in the project.
