Glossary A
We are a team who were born and raised from 2 different sides of the world.. from 2 continents - Asia and Europe. We are a food enthusiasts/foodies, collectors, travelers, culinary researcher; lexicographers and computer/IT specialist, respectively. We are team of a Sociologist, who love to learn the culture of other countries through their cuisine and the meaning of food in their everyday lives and an expert in Computer/Information Technology specialist, which has triggered the project.
The Food Glossary started from long years of collecting recipes, cookbooks, and everything about food and related subjects since I was a teenager, the love for eating, travelling and learning other cultures.

In the context of food science and nutrition, absorption refers to the process by which nutrients, water, and other substances are taken up from the digestive tract into the bloodstream or lymphatic system. This physiological mechanism is critical for maintaining bodily functions, as it ensures that digested food components are transported to cells for energy, growth, and repair. Absorption occurs primarily in the small intestine, though some substances are absorbed in the stomach or large intestine, depending on their chemical properties.
