چکیده

Dietary fibre is a heterogeneous group of components for which several definitions and analytical methods were developed over the past decades, causing confusion among users and producers of dietary fibre data in food composition databases. An overview is given of current definitions and analytical methods. Some of the issues related to maintaining dietary fibre values in food composition databases are discussed. Newly developed AOAC methods (2009.01 or modifications) yield higher dietary fibre values, due to the inclusion of low molecular weight dietary fibre and resistant starch. For food composition databases procedures need to be developed to combine 'classic' and 'new' dietary fibre values since re-analysing all foods on short notice is impossible due to financial restrictions. Standardised value documentation procedures are important to evaluate dietary fibre values from several sources before exchanging and using the data, e.g. for dietary intake research.

Effects of revision of Japanese food composition tables on estimation of nutrient intakes, with reference to age-dependent differences.

OBJECTIVE To identify effects of revision of the Japanese food composition tables from the fourth version to the fifth version on nutrient intake estimation. DESIGN A database on 783 samples of 24-hour food duplicate portions was re-visited. Nutrients in the duplicate portions were estimated by use of the fourth and fifth versions of the Japanese food composition tables in parallel, together ...

Growth Performance and Body Composition of Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) Fingerlings under Dietary L-Carnitine

Growth performance, food efficiency and body composition of pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) were investigated with 1 or 2 g/kg L-carnitine added to the diet. Control diet did not contain L-carnitine. Two hundred pikeperch fingerlings (1.63 g, mean weight) were stocked in each 1 m3 concrete tank and fed equally 6 meals per day for 6 weeks. Higher increment in body weight (5.92 ± 0.37 g), the ...

Evaluation of the Nutritional Value of Banana Peel and Effect of Its Different Levels on Digestibility and In Vitro Fermentation Parameters

The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical composition and comparing the in vitro fermentation parameters of banana peel (BP) with wheat straw and alfalfa hay. Thereafter, BP was added at levels 0, 50, 100, 150 or 200 g/kg dry matter (DM) at the expense of dietary hay. Banana peel had higher crude protein (CP) content compared to wheat straw, but it was lower than alfalfa (P<0.05)....
