Soluble Dietary Fiber Workshop

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 427))

Abstract

The participants of the soluble dietary fiber workshop were a diverse group with a wide range of reasons for attending. Two issues of interest to most members of the group were the analysis of all components in the dietary fiber complex (not just the soluble fraction) and the physiological effects of soluble fiber. A major portion of our time was spent reviewing methods of fiber analysis (1,2). We did not have a good discussion of our topic—what is the most meaningful way to measure soluble dietary fiber, nor did we reach a consensus on other questions raised by the participants. These other questions included how to present soluble fiber in data bases, g/100 g or serving, or % of total fiber; and what should be the approach to measuring specific components of the fiber complex, such as polydextroses, inulin, oligosaccharides and undigested starch.
