European Food Safety Authority (EFSA): Support to National Dietary Surveys in Compliance with the EU Menu methodology (sixth support) “The children’s survey”, including subjects from three months up to 9 years old

Project leader: Dr. Marija Glibetić

Project collaborators: Dr. Marija Takić, Dr. Milica Zekovic, Dr. Biljana Pokimica, Dr. Tamara Popovic, Dr. Gordana Petrovic-Oggiano, Dr. Jelena Milešević, Dr. Jasmina Martačić-Debeljak, Dr. Marija Knez, Dr. Marija Ranić, Dr. Irena Krga, Dr. Vuk Stevanovic, Dr. Nevena Kardum, Dr. Mirjana Gurinović, Marta Despotović

Project number: OC/EFSA/DATA/2016/02

Duration of the project: 2016-2022.

Leading institution:

Description of the project:

The aim of this project was to develop a methodology to be used in a national survey of food consumption in accordance with the guidelines of the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) in accordance with the methodology of the EU menu, to prepare and provide EFSA with national protocols and related documents, and in in the first phase, a test-pilot data collection was carried out. In addition, data on food consumption and related information collected during the survey in accordance with the format required by EFSA were prepared and transmitted to EFSA including data on food packaging materials.

Beneficial Effects of Dietary Bioactive Peptides and Polyphenols on Cardiovascular Health in Humans

Project leader: Dr. Marija Glibetić

Project collaborators: Dr. Nevena Kardum, Dr. Slavica Ranković, Dr. Milica Kojadinovic, Dr. Marija Takić, Dr. Jasmina Martačić-Debeljak, Dr. Aleksandra Konić-Ristić, Dr. Manja Zec

Project number: 312090

Duration of the project: October 2012-September 2016.

Leading institution: Quadram Institute, United Kingdom

Description of the project:

The main objective of the BACCHUS project was to develop tools and resources that will facilitate the generation of robust and exploitable scientific evidence that can be used to support claims of a cause and effect relationship between consumption of bioactive peptides and polyphenols, and beneficial physiological effects related to cardiovascular health in humans. The IMI team primary explored the effects of aronia-polyphenol rich juice consumption on aggregation and activation of thrombocytes in abdominally obese subjects.

Food-Based Solutions for Optimal Vitamin D Nutrition and Health Throughout the Life Cycle

Project leader: Dr. Marija Glibetić

Project collaborators: Dr. Vesna Vučić, Dr. Danijela Ristić-Medić, Dr. Aleksandra Arsić, Dr. Jelena Milešević, Dr. Manja Zec, Dr. Mirjana Gurinovic, Dr. Marija Ranić

Project number: 613977

Duration of the project: November 2013-October 2017.

Leading institution: University College Cork, National University of Ireland

Description of the project:

ODIN project provided the evidence to prevent vitamin D deficiency in Europe and improve nutrition and public health through food. By establishing an internationally standardized analytical platform for 25OHD, ODIN measured the distribution of circulating 25OHD and describe the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Europe. Using available biobanks and databases from National nutrition surveys ODIN delineated the relative contributions of sun and dietary sources of vitamin D to circulating 25OHD. In support of vitamin D recommendations, ODIN carried out three RCT in pregnant women, children and teenagers and a fourth RCT in ethnic immigrant groups to provide experimental data to specify vitamin D intake requirements.

Low-Cost Technologies and Traditional Ingredients for the Production of Affordable, Nutritionally Balanced Foods to Improve Health in Population Groups at Risk of Poverty (CHANCE)

Project leader: Dr. Marija Glibetić

Project collaborators: Dr. Romana Novaković, Dr. Danijela Ristić-Medić, Dr. Mirjana Gurinović, Dr. Jelena Milešević, Dr. Nevena Kardum

Project number: 266331

Duration of the project: February 2011-July 2014.

Leading institution: Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna

Description of the project:

CHANCE project defined an innovative strategy based on a socio-economic study of the composition of the most significant EU populations at-risk-of-poverty and verified the relative existing nutritional deficiency via a holistic approach ensured by metabolomics investigations correlating the non-healthy diet to real metabolism alterations. CHANCE adopted a new multidisciplinary approach, leading to nutritional strategies for the prevention of malnutrition in population groups at risk of poverty. CHANCE aimed at considered a new health value-added diet as a whole by developing food products which could act in concert. The synergic collaboration of nutritionists, food chemists, economists and technologists allowed a robust strategy to by pass all barriers to healthy nutrition by the lab-scale development of affordable but nutritionally-rich food products, new packaging and portioning.

The EuroFIR Food Platform: Further Integration, Refinement and Exploitation for Its Long-Term Self-Sustainability

Project leader: Dr. Marija Glibetić

Project collaborators: Dr. Mirjana Gurinović, Dr. Jelena Milešević, Dr. Jasmina Martačić-Debeljak, Dr. Marija Takić

Project number: 265967

Duration of the project: 2011-2013.

Leading institution: Quadram Institute, United Kingdom

Description of the project:

The objective of this project was to further integrate/refine the EuroFIR Food Platform, to improve/support the ways research is undertaken into relationships between food, diets and health in Europe. The focus was on extending application and exploitation of validated food data and tools for pan-European nutrition studies and networked usage, implementation of standards and best practice. This together forms the basis of long-term sustainability through the newly established legal entity EuroFIR AISBL.
