New developments in dietary fiber

Proceedings of a meeting held April 1989, in Dallas, Tex., in conjunction with the 197th American Chemical Society national meeting. The contributors assess the state of the art in dietary fiber, namely in the areas of the physiological effects, physicochemical attributes, and in existing and proposed analytical methods. The focus is on systematic characterization of physicochemical and analytical attributes of selected fibers so that molecular structure can be correlated with in vivo data.
