Journal Article
Chapman, N. H., Fisk, I., Craigon, J., Towey, C., Grant, I., & Brewer, J. (2019). Exploring the effects of tomato extract supplementation on cognitive function during exercise and at rest. Journal of Nutrition and Health Sciences, 6(2),

It has been reported that tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit extracts may have beneficial effects on cognition. To assess if those effects are reproducible, cognitive function was assessed using a double-blind, randomised control trial design; 17 he...

An enzymatically controlled mucoadhesive for enhancing flavour during food oral processing (2019)
Journal Article
Dinu, V., Gadon, A., Hurst, K., Lim, M., Ayed, C., Gillis, R. B., …Fisk, I. D. (2019). An enzymatically controlled mucoadhesive for enhancing flavour during food oral processing. npj Science of Food, 3(1), Article 11. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41538-019-0043-y

While a good mucoadhesive biopolymer must adhere to a mucus membrane, it must also have a good unloading ability. Here, we demonstrate that the biopolymer pullulan is partially digested by human salivary α-amylase, thus acting as a controlled release...
