Abstract

A study in dietary fiber and whole grains is presented. Efficient tools for detailed characterization of fibers, systems for measuring the behavior of products and diets with fibers in the gastrointestinal tract and a broad range of biomarkers showing the impact of fibers on health and well being are analyzed. It was suggested that growing number of food ingredients with dietary fiber characteristics combined with the emerging research tools would facilitate developments for new products with major health benefits
