Meinou Corstens

Dr. Meinou Corstens is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Food Process Engineering, Wageningen University & Research. Their research focuses on food emulsions, lipid digestion, and encapsulation systems to influence satiety and appetite regulation. Key areas include microfluidics-driven studies of emulsion stability, protein-polysaccharide complexes, and food structure's role in digestion.

Research interests span encapsulation technologies for volatiles and lipids, anti-obesity strategies via controlled release systems, and the application of mathematical models in food engineering. They lead projects like INSIGHT (encapsulation platforms for gut health) and advise multiple PhD candidates on topics such as starch-based emulsions and probiotic delivery.

Dr. Corstens frequently presents at academic and public forums, including talks on colloidal delivery systems and functional food interfaces. Their work bridges food science with biomedical applications, emphasizing translational research for health outcomes.
