Why is it important?
In this review, we describe our current knowledge on these aspects of dietary fber: defnition, determination, extraction, modifcation, and application.
Perspectives
Future methods for the extraction and modifcation of dietary fber will be needed for large-scale industrial production. Additional studies are needed to expand the application of dietary fber and improve its economic and practical value. Future work by nutritionists and scientists is also needed to determine the requirements for dietary fber intake and to guide consumption of dietary fber supplements.
