商品簡介
Contributors from many countries, most representing food corporations, describe various food fiber ingredients available commercially, considering their characteristics, functionality, and health benefits. They also suggest opportunities for advertising claims such as gastrointestinal health, cardiovascular health, weight management, satiety, glycemic control, and probiotic effects. Within sections on soluble fibers, resistant starch, conventional fibers, and new development, the studies examine such ingredients as inulin, pectin, oat fiber from oat hulls, sugar beet fiber, psyllium, and the novel wheat ingredient aleurone flour.
