A study on diet and colon cancer was reported by W. Willett s group (Willett et at., 1990) (Table 11.3). The study examined various components of the diet, such as fiber, fat, and meat. The fiber component was divid into cereal fiber and fruit fiber. The fat component was divided into meat fat, dairy fat, saturated fat, and unsaturated fat. The meat component was divided into beef, pork, and lamb, and into rare versus well-done Styles of cooking. The body mass index, as defined in the Obesity chapter, was also recorded. The study was part of the Nurses Health Study Cohort, which was inibated in 1976 and involved 121,700 female nurses. Every 2 years, the nurses filled in a questionnaire that asked about various risk factors for disease. The questionnaire asked, for example, about 61 foods and their frequency In the diet. The foods were chosen to allow epidemiologists to make broad statements regarding the component nutrients.

Presentations in this volume come from chemists, medical researchers, and microbiologists, as well as nutritionists and food scientists. In a few cases, rather exotic fiber types such as tobacco fiber, wheat straw lignin, or shellfish aminopolysaccharides are discussed. Other sources include psyllium, different legumes, and vegetable and fruit fibers. There is no doubt that additional unconventional fiber sources will be continuously identified and increasingly used. 

Despite these efforts, screening for new wall materials, such as milled citrus fruit fibers as a potential replacement for maltodextrin-type carriers (Chiou and Langrish, 2007), is still mainly done by trial and error. 

Vegetable (Cellulose) fiber Fibers obtained from various parts of plants are known as vegetable fibers. These fibers are classified as (a) bast or stem fibers, (b) leaf fiber, and (c) fruit fiber... 

There are several different classifications in terms of plant fibers. While the classification of Nishino [59] includes seven groups as bast (soft) fibers (flax, hemp, jute), leaf (hard) fibers (sisal, abaca, pineapple, etc.), stem fibers (bamboo, banana stalk, corn stalk), fruit fibers (coconut), seed fibers (cotton, baobab, kapok), straw fibers (rice, wheat, corn), and others (seaweeds, palm), that of Faruk et al. [3] has six groups bast fibers (jute, flax, hemp), leaf fibers (abaca, sisal and pineapple), seed fibers (coir, cotton and kapok), core fibers (kenaf, hemp and jute), grass and reed fibers (wheat, corn and rice) and all other types (wood and roots). 

The traditional plant fiber classification groups are bast, leaf and seed/fruit fibers, other than wood fibers.

Nonwood fibers are annual fibers obtained from various monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants. Nonwood fibers include straw, grass, bast, leaf, and fruit fibers. During 1996-1997, world paper consumption was about 300 million tons... 

Natural fibers can be classified as seed fibers (such as cotton), bast fibers (like flax, hemp, jute, kenaf, ramie), hard fibers (like sisal), fruit fibers (like coir), and wood fibers. The chemical composition and dimensions of some common agro-fibers are presented in Table 2.21. The origin of wood fibers can be sawmill chips, sawdust, wood flour or powder, cutter shavings, pulp or wood residues. As binders for these fibers, both thermosetting (hke phenolic, epoxy, polyester) resins and thermosetting matrices [such as polyethylene (LDPE, HDPE), polypropylene (PP), poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), polystyrene (PS)] can be used. Thermoplastic composites are, however, less expensive to process than thermosetting composites, in addition to their ability to be manufactured into complex shapes. 

Natural cellulose fibers also are called plant fibers or vegetable fibers. Natural cellulose fibers include cotton together with flax, jute, jute, ramie and other fibers produced by plants. Natural cellulose fibers can be classified to seed, bast, leaf, and fruit fibers. Figure 4.1 shows the classification of natnral cellnlose fibers.
