Soluble Fiber 1 article

Water-dispersible fiber fractions are grouped as Soluble Fiber, a category that can include both viscous and fermentable forms. The category is broad: some soluble fibers form thick gels while others remain low in viscosity, so a product's total soluble fiber does not by itself reveal texture, source, or fermentability and should be distinguished from insoluble fiber. Examples include oat and barley beta-glucan, psyllium, pectin, gums, and some fiber fractions in legumes and fruit.
