Abstract

Dietary fiber (DF) intake is associated with a number of benefits and these effects depend not only on intake as well as its composition. The DF includes polysaccharides such as cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins, gums, oligosaccharides and lignin, and can be divided into soluble and insoluble. The concept of DF was expanded to include resistant starch, inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides. The determination of DF costly and time depends on methods that have been modified for this new concept. The AOAC Official methods of determining all components present in a DF, without specific methods for each component. Studies show innovative techniques to ensure a shorter analysis time, less waste generation by the use of reagents and more convenience in the analysis.
