Review On “Dietary Fiber Incorporated Dairy Foods: A Healthy Trend”
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Dietary fiber is not a „nutrient‟, it is nevertheless an important component of our diets. The fact that it passes through the body without being absorbed is the main reason why fiber is so important. Dietary fiber or „roughage‟ comprises the edible parts of plant that cannot be digested or absorbed in the small intestine and passes into the large intestine in an intact form and which is also resistant to enzymatic digestion that includes cellulose, non-cellulosic polysaccharides such as hemicellulose, pectic substances, gums, mucilages and a noncarbohydrate component (i.e. lignin). Based on their solubility fibers are classified into soluble and insoluble fibers. The soluble fibre enriched diets have a positive effect on human health as their consumption has been known to help in preventing constipation, possible colon & rectal cancer,lowers total cholesterol, calories and alsoregulate variance in the blood sugar levels. Soluble dietary fibre enriched dairy products may serve as functional foods. Fiberfortification also helps to improve sensory characteristics, shelf life and structural properties (i.e. viscosity, texture, water & oil holding capacity) of dairy foods.This reviewbriefs about the various soluble dietary fibers available and their potential functional role in human health as well as food additives in dairy foods.
