Common Dietary Fibres and Their Functions
Dietary fiber is the seventh most important nutrient, alongside protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and water. Dietary fiber refers to carbohydrates with three or more monomeric links that cannot be hydrolyzed by endogenous enzymes in the human small intestine. There are two main types of dietary fiber, water-soluble dietary fiber and insoluble dietary fibre. Water-soluble dietary fiber is soluble in water, swells when it absorbs water and can be digested by microorganisms in the large intestine.
