Coverage includes specific dietary fibre components (withoverviews of chemistry, analysis and regulatory aspects of all keydietary fibres); measurement of dietary fibre and dietary fibrecomponents (in-vitro and in-vivo); general aspects (eg chemical andphysical nature; rheology and functionality; nutrition and health;and technological) and current hot topics.
Ideal as an up-to-date overview of the field for foodtechnologists; nutritionists and quality assurance and productionmanagers.
