Fibers and Prebiotics 2 articles

Fibers and Prebiotics brings together dietary fiber ingredients and fermentable carbohydrates used in foods, beverages, and supplements. The group spans soluble and insoluble fibers, viscous and nonviscous forms, resistant carbohydrates, and prebiotic oligosaccharides. In product analysis, the important distinctions are source, fermentability, texture or viscosity, serving amount, and how the ingredient contributes to a declared dietary-fiber value rather than a single assumed digestive effect.
