A direction in dietary fibre analysis

Describes dietary fibre and recent methods associated with dietary fibre analysis. This was brought to attention due to recent issues by MAFF which was intended to ensure consistent labelling of dietary fibre. MAFF now proposes adopting AOAC international methodology as the UK’s preferred method of analysis for fibre for nutritional labelling purposes. Compares the AOAC method with the Englyst method and gives an objective view as to which method is more suitable.
