Intérêts de recherche

Les recherches en sciences alimentaires de la professeure Monique Lacroix favorisent le développement de l’industrie bioalimentaire par le biais de l’exploitation de nouvelles technologies de transformation et de traitements assurant la qualité globale des aliments ainsi que la valorisation de sous produits alimentaires pour le développement de nouveaux produits a haute valeur. La mise au point de nouvelles technologies (irradiation) ou de combinaisons de traitements (chaleur, emballage sous atmosphère modifiée, fermentation, froid) permet de réduire les pertes tout en assurant la conservation de la valeur nutritive et l’innocuité du produit. La mise au point de nouveaux procédés est assurée par différentes sphères d’activités telles que la chimie et la biochimie alimentaire, les propriétés physico-chimiques et l’évaluation sensorielle des aliments.

Effet des traitements technologiques sur la fonctionnalité des protéines et autres macromolécules

Les aliments sont composés de macromolécules en mélange dans un système aqueux : il existe entre ces dernières des interactions complexes qui gouvernent une foule de propriétés telles la valeur nutritive, les propriétés fonctionnelles, la stabilité physique, microbiologique, etc. La professeure Lacroix pose comme hypothèse qu’il est possible de contrôler les interactions entre ces différentes macromolécules, au cours des traitements technologiques et d’obtenir pour chaque type d’aliments ou de mélanges à base de protéines, des propriétés physico-chimiques déterminantes sur la conservation, la fonctionnalité des denrées alimentaires ou de nouveaux produits alimentaires a haute valeur et autres tels des enrobages comestibles. Des traitements permettant des réactions de « cross-linking » permettent la mise au point d’emballages biodégradables bioactifs (ex : antioxydants, antimicrobiens). La professeure Lacroix et son équipe proposent des modèles d’immobilisation et d’encapsulation de molécules ou de composantes bioactives en fonction de la structure et de la fonctionnalité des agents bioactifs afin de maximiser et de stabiliser la fonctionnalité de ces molécules au cours de l’entreposage et d’assurer un rendement significatif dans les aliments. Ils veulent mettre au point des aliments enrichis en ingrédients bioactifs pour l’amélioration de la santé, et mettre au point des produits alimentaires novateurs a connotation santé.

Étude des métabolites secondaires des végétaux et des bactéries probiotiques et leurs propriétés antioxydantes immunostimulantes et antimorales

On reconnaît aujourd’hui que les composés phénoliques et autres métabolites secondaires bactériens sont des micronutriments qui possèdent des propriétés biologiques inestimables pour la santé cellulaire. La professeure Lacroix étudie les différentes propriétés d’extraits alimentaires et végétaux, purifie les composés actifs et les identifie pour leur caractérisation, les études de mécanismes et la mise au point de nouveaux produits cosmétiques, pharmaceutiques et suppléments alimentaires ayant des propriétés antibactériennes, antiradicalaires, anticancéreuses et autres.

Fonctions et biographie

La professeure Monique Lacroix a obtenu un B. Sc. A. (1980), une M. Sc. (1982) en sciences et technologie des aliments de l’Université Laval. Récipiendaire d’une bourse de recherche (1 an) en biotechnologie en 1983, échange France-Québec, elle a participé à une étude sur la cinétique différentielle d’absorption d’hydrolysat de protéines laitières chez le porc in vivo, au Laboratoire de physiologie de la nutrition de l’INRA de Jouy-en-Josas, France. Elle a obtenu son Ph. D. (1986) en nutrition de l’Université Laval, où elle s’est spécialisée sur l’amélioration de la qualité des protéines de canola par des traitements d’hydrolyse, d’ultrafiltration et de détoxification (élimination de composés phénoliques) par des traitements chimiques, de fermentation et d’hydrolyse enzymatique.

En 1987, elle a été nommée professeure au Centre de Recherche en Sciences Appliquée a l’Alimentation (CRESALA), centre créé et fondé par feu Dr Marcel Gagnon, en 1972, afin de travailler conjointement avec l’industrie alimentaire pour développer de nouvelles technologies, assurer l’innocuité alimentaire, améliorer le temps de conservation et mettre au point de nouveaux produits de haute valeurs. Elle travaille également sur l’irradiation des aliments avec des traitements combinés afin d’assurer l’innocuité alimentaire, de protéger la valeur nutritive et de réduire les pertes alimentaires.

Description des projets

Biofilms

Mise au point des méthodes de réticulations, de fonctionnalisation, de greffage de polymères et utilisation de polymères nanocomposites pour la fabrication de films auto supportant et biodégradables, de capsules ou d’enrobages. Ces matériaux sont mis au point pour des applications alimentaires, nutraceutiques, pharmaceutiques et pour la protection de l’environnement.

Irradiation

Étudier la radiosensibilisation, la résistance et les modifications morphologiques, physiologiques et moléculaires chez les principales bactéries pathogènes retrouvées dans les aliments lorsque exposées a un traitement d’irradiation en présence d’agents antimicrobiens naturels sous différentes conditions d’entreposage. Le but a long terme est de mettre au point de nouvelles technologies afin d’assurer l’innocuité des aliments. Collaboration avec les Nations Unies depuis 1987 pour la formation continue de chercheur en irradiation. Membre de 2 comités d’experts en irradiation aux Nations Unies : Agence Internationale de l’énergie Atomique dont un comité conjoint avec l’Office Mondiale de la Santé et Food Agriculture Organisation pour proposer de nouvelles recommandations et collaborer dans un réseau de recherche international.

Produits nutraceutiques et développement de nouvelles technologies pour assurer la salubrité alimentaire

Bactéries probiotiques : Nous avons isolé deux bactéries potentiellement probiotiques d’origine humaine stimulant in vitro la production de cytokines et inhibant des bactéries pathogènes ciblées dont une Enterobacteriacea résistante à la vancomycine et ayant le pouvoir de moduler la flore intestinale in vivo. Nous travaillons a l’isolation et a la caractérisation de deux bactériocines produites par ces bactéries : études de mécanismes d’actions, vérification de la modulation de la flore microbienne in vivo et évaluation des propriétés antipathogènes in vitro et in vivo. Des méthodes d’encapsulation sont mises au point pour préserver la viabilité de bactéries probiotiques au passage gastrique et au cours de l’entreposage.

Isolation et extraction de composés bioactifs présents dans les plantes et les aliments

Sélection et études de mécanismes d’extraits de plantes, pour leurs propriétés antimicrobiennes spécialement contre les pathogènes responsables de toxi-infections alimentaires.

Isolation, séparation, identification et études de mécanismes de composés phénoliques ayant des propriétés biologiques (antimicrobiennes, antioxydants, antiradicalaires, antimutagènes, anticancer) pour la mise au point de formulation antimicrobiennes naturelles et d’aliments fonctionnels.

Mise au point d’enrobages et de formulations d’encapsulation pour protéger la bioactivité de ces molécules.

Collaboration avec des industriels pour développer de nouveaux procédés faisant intervenir l’application de ces extraits soit pour le développement d’aliments nutraceutiques ou comme agents antimicrobiens naturels.

INRS-Prox industriel

Le but de ce projet est d’optimiser les actions de maillages entre les chercheurs et les étudiants chercheurs de l’INRS, Prox-Industriel et les industries agroalimentaires de la ville de Laval. L’aide aux industriels se ferait par le développement d’un modèle d’accompagnement visant les transferts de connaissances entre les chercheurs et les industriels et leur soutien à l’innovation industrielle notamment dans le but de réduire l’usage de produits chimiques, réduire les pertes alimentaires et d’assurer la salubrité des aliments. Plus de 50% des aliments sont perdus au Canada représentant plus de $50 milliards.

Ce modèle consiste à créer des activités de transfert de connaissances via 1) la rédaction de fiches techniques et 2) l’organisation de séminaires (ateliers de travail) pour assurer un soutien à la formation spécialisée et à l’innovation industrielle. La mission de l’INRS étant la formation, la recherche et le transfert de connaissances et de technologies, et celle de Prox-Industriel de favoriser le développement d’affaires et de répondre par le réseautage aux besoins des industriels de Laval, ce projet viserait ainsi à unir leurs expertises afin d’assurer l’excellence dans le domaine du transfert de connaissances vers la main-d’œuvre du secteur alimentaire tout en répondant aux besoins de notre société.

Centre d’irradiation du Canada

Le Centre d’Irradiation du Canada (CIC) est un centre d’excellence unique au monde. Le CIC résulte d’une association avec la firme MDS Nordion Inc. et le Centre Armand-Frappier Santé Biotechnologie pour le développement et la promotion de la technologie d’irradiation et de ses applications.

Ces objectifs sont atteints par la recherche fondamentale et appliquée, la formation de personnels hautement qualifiés, le développement de nouvelles technologies et le transfert de technologies. Le CIC développe de nouvelles technologies en collaboration avec les membres du Centre dans le domaine de la médecine préventive. Ces nouvelles technologies sont le fruit de la collaboration entre différentes sphères d’activités telles que les sciences alimentaires, la santé, l’environnement, la microbiologie, l’immunologie, la biochimie, l’épidémiologie, la médecine comparative, la physicochimie et l’évaluation sensorielle.

Recherche au Laboratoire en sciences appliquées à l’alimentation

Dirigé par la professeure Monique Lacroix, le Laboratoire de recherche en sciences appliquées à l’alimentation est localisé au CIC. L’irradiation est l’une des technologies qui permettrait de contribuer à réduire le nombre de maladies alimentaires. Malgré les nouvelles technologies développées à ce jour, les maladies alimentaires infectieuses atteignent plus de 2 millions de cas par an au Canada, engendrant annuellement des coûts à la santé de 1,3 milliard. La recherche en sciences appliquées à l’alimentation consiste à développer et appliquer de nouvelles technologies faisant intervenir l’irradiation et tous les autres procédés pour l’amélioration de la santé par la salubrité et le développement de nouveaux marchés pour le traitement d’irradiation. Elle consiste à la mise au point de méthodes combinées faisant intervenir, l’enrobage avec des biofilms, l’atmosphère modifiée, la chaleur et d’autres technologies de pointe. Des études fondamentales sur les composantes environnementales tel que le mécanisme d’action de molécules bio-actives naturelles sur la radiosensibilisation bactérienne sous différentes atmosphères font partie des activités prédominantes actuelles de ce laboratoire. Une technologie a d’ailleurs été mise au point et est prête à être commercialisée. Alors que l’innocuité des aliments est souvent questionnée, l’utilisation de substances naturelles provenant des plantes séduit le public et répond à la forte demande pour les produits naturels. L’utilisation de ces produits permet de plus de réduire les doses nécessaires d’irradiation pour assurer l’innocuité alimentaire.

Afin d’assurer l’efficacité des composés, une immobilisation de ces composés est effectuée de plus dans des polymères naturels réticulés, soit sous forme d’enrobage, de granules, ou de films d’emballage réticulés par irradiation faisant intervenir la valorisation de sous-produits alimentaire. Cette nouvelle technologie brevetée permet de plus d’assurer une libération contrôlée du polymère à l’aliment et assure une plus longue efficacité dans le temps. Une efficacité synergétique est possible avec l’irradiation.
