Handbook of Dietary Fiber

This handbook offers contemporary thoughts on dietary fiber and explores the scope of dietary fiber applications, such as marketing perspectives, health claims, and patent literature. It helps the audience to improve the consistency and accuracy of the dietary fiber information used in their work.

Presents the latest research on the analysis, metabolism, function, and physicochemical properties of fiber, fiber concentrates, and bioactive isolates--exploring the effect of fiber on chronic disease, cardiovascular health, cancer, and diabetes. Examines food applications and the efficacy and safety of psyllium, sugar beet fiber, pectin, alginate, gum arabic, and rice bran.
