Determination of dietary fibre as non-starch polysaccharides with gas–liquid chromatographic, high-performance liquid chromatographic or spectrophotometric measurement of constituent sugars
Abstract
Methods for the measurement of dietary fibre as non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) are described. A common enzymic removal of starch and acid hydrolysis of the NSP to their constituent sugars are followed by one of three alternative techniques, gas-liquid chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography or spectrophotometry, for measurement of the released sugars. The results obtained by the three methods are in good agreement for a wide range of raw and processed foods. NSP compose approximately 90% of the plant cell-wall material and are therefore a good index of this material. Values for NSP therefore provide a good marker for a diet rich in fruit, vegetables and high-extraction cereal products associated with health and recommended in dietary guidelines. Values for total, soluble and insoluble NSP may be obtained with any of the end-point techniques, and the detailed information obtained from the chromatographic methods is useful in studies of the relationship between the intakes of various types of NSP and health. The causes of some potential interferences in the spectrophotometric assay, especially from processed foods, have been identified and eliminated. The rapid spectrophotometric version is suitable for food labelling purposes and for quality control, and the changes described have made it more robust.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
