TLDR
In this paper, a total, soluble and insoluble non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) and lignin were analysed for low-molecular weight (LMW) sugars by high-performance liquid chromatography, starch, fructan and mixed linked β(1 → 3;1 → 4)-D-glucan by colorimetry, total, insoluble NSP by gas-liquid chromatography and Lignin by gravimetry.About:

New hypotheses for the health-protective mechanisms of whole-grain cereals: what is beyond fibre?
TL;DR: Benefits of nutrigenomics to study complex physiological effects of the ‘whole-grain package’, and the most promising ways for improving the nutritional quality of cereal products are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of interactions between dietary fibre and the intestinal mucosa, and their consequences on digestive health in young non-ruminant animals
TL;DR: Evidence that some components of dietary fibre may improve gut health, or alternatively enhance gut perturbation and subsequent diarrhoea in young animals (including piglets, chickens and children) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A feed is only as good as its ingredients – a review of ingredient evaluation strategies for aquaculture feeds
TL;DR: Issues relating to feed intake are the key performance criteria in palatability assessments, and it is important that such experiments maintain sufficient stringency to allow some self-discrimination of the test feeds by the fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nutritional significance of “dietary fibre” analysis
TL;DR: Analytical values concerning degree of lignification and water solubility provide important information about the degradability of NSP in the large intestine, while the effect of N SP on the digestion and absorption processes in the small intestine is more difficult to predict from any of the chemical parameters currently measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Managing gut health through nutrition
TL;DR: Dietary factors that modulate the immune system and gut microflora should be considered when formulating diets and managing feeding practices, and any gut damage caused by pathogens will lead to poor gut health, which will, in turn, affect nutrient utilisation efficiency.

Use of Detergents in the Analysis of Fibrous Feeds. IV. Determination of Plant Cell-Wall Constituents
P.J. Van Soest,R. H. Wine +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a standardization of the method is based on a nutritional concept which defines fiber as insoluble vegetable matter which is indigestible by proteolytic and diastatic enzymes and which cannot be utilized except by microbial fennentation in the digestive tracts of animais.

Use of Detergents in the Analysis of Fibrous Feeds. II. A Rapid Method for the Determination of Fiber and Lignin
TL;DR: The acid-detergent fiber method (ADF) as mentioned in this paper is a fiber method based on cetyl trimethylammonium bromide to dissolve proteins in acid solution.

Covalent Cross-Links in the Cell Wall.
TL;DR: The results with 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile-adapted tomato and tobacco cells in suspension culture indicate that although the cellulose-xyloglucan network in these walls is greatly reduced, the cells remain viable under normal osmotic conditions.
