2013 • 459 pages

Fibre-Rich and Wholegrain Foods addresses key research and best industry practice in the development of fibre-enriched and wholegrain products that efficiently meet customer requirements.

Coverage includes:

  • analysis, definition, regulation and health claims associated with dietary fibre and wholegrain foods
  • sources of dietary fibre including: wheat and non-wheat cereal, vegetable, fruit and potato fibres
  • quality improvement of fibre-enriched dairy products, meat products, seafood, beverages and snackfoods
  • soluble and insoluble fibre in infant nutrition

Part One introduces the key issues surrounding the analysis, definition, regulation and health claims associated with dietary fibre and wholegrain foods. The links between wholegrain foods and health, the range of fibre dietary ingredients and a comparison of their technical functionality are discussed, as are consumption and consumer challenges of wholegrain foods.

Part Two addresses dietary fibre sources, including wheat and non-wheat cereal dietary fibre ingredients, vegetable, fruit and potato fibres.

Part Three focuses on Improving the quality of fibre-rich and wholegrain foods, including such cereal products as wholegrain bread, muffins, pasta and noodles. It also addresses fibre in extruded products.

Part Four covers quality improvement of fibre-enriched dairy products, meat products, seafood, beverages and snack foods. Companion animal nutrition as affected by dietary fibre inclusion is discussed, as well as a consideration of soluble and insoluble fibre in infant nutrition.
