Polysaccharides and health - Fibers - Determination of dietary fibre
6 important questions on Polysaccharides and health - Fibers - Determination of dietary fibre
What are the two main methods to analyse diatary fibers?
- Enzymatic/gravimetric method
- Uppsala method
What is the main difference between the enzymatic/gravimetirc method and the uppsala method?
How does the enzymatic/gravimetric method work?
A enzyme is added to remove the digestible starch.
The soluble non-starch polysccharides are removed with 80% ethanol.
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
How does the uppsala method work?
Non-starch polysacharides are separated by 80% ethanol precipitation.
After drying the residue contains bout soluble and insoluble fibers.
You can split them with a filtration step.
Neutral sugars are determentin with the HPAEC.
Are all oligosacharides inclueded in the uppsala method?
Which step in the uppsala method ditermens withch fibers you have.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
