Effects of freezing preservation on dietary fibre content of mango (Mangifera indica L.) fruit

Article Abstract:

A study of the effects of freezing on dietary fiber content of mango fruit shows that freezing had no substantial effect on the neutral-detergent fiber content of the mango samples. The neutral-detergent fiber content of the mangoes decreased continuously with the increased duration of storage. Decrease in the neutral-detergent fiber content with prolonged storage is more in the Smith mango samples than the Lippens variety of mangoes.

Modification of dietary fibre content in different kinds of bread

Article Abstract:

A study of changes in the dietary fibre in different breads after baking revealed that total dietary fibre (DF) in all baked breads increased with baking. Increase in the soluble fraction of DF was highest in white breads whereas for wheat breads the increase in DF was minimum. Breads made with the addition of fat had higher amounts of DF. No difference in the crust and crumb was observed for the breads with and without fats.

Dietary fibre and the gastrointestinal tract: differing trophic effects on muscle and mucosa of the stomach, small intestine and colon

Article Abstract:

A study conducted in both conventional and germ-free rats finds that dietary fibre can excite the muscle and the mucosa, indicating that this stimulating effect is independent of fermentation. In the stomach, fibre has a direct effect, whereas in the ileum and colon, fibre is trophic only in the presence of microflora. The products obtained from the breakdown during the hind-gut fermentation act as the trophic agents.
