Source of dietary fiber

Some types of mushrooms contain moderate quantities of good-quality protein and are good sources of dietary fiber, vitamins C and B, and minerals (Breene 1990). Extensive clinical studies have demonstrated that some species have medicinal and therapeutic value, by injection or oral administration, in the prevention/treatment of...

Spiced Layer Cake. Investigation was undertaken to evaluate navy bean hulls as an alternative source of dietary fiber in spice-flavored layer cakes and to compare hull flour from beans with no heat treatment to hull flour from beans roasted for 2 min at 240°C. Results of the objective analyses performed on both the batter and the cakes indicated that the addition of 15% navy bean hulls resulted in a thicker batter, due to the high water absorbancy of the hulls however, only the batter containing the unroasted hulls was significantly more viscous than the control batter. Cakes prepared with the roasted navy bean hulls tended to be slightly more... 

Few differences were attributed to roasting of the navy bean hulls however, color of the hulls improved with heat treatment. Cakes prepared with either unheated or roasted bean hulls compared favorably to the control. Consequently, navy bean hulls are an acceptable source of dietary fiber in a flavored cake. More research should be initiated to investigate alternative uses for navy bean hulls as a dietary fiber source. 

Sea animals are rich in soluble dietary fibers, proteins, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, with low caloric value. Polysaccharides from marine animals have been reported to possess biological activities with potential medicinal values in addition to their current status as a source of dietary fibers and prebiotics. Moreover, they have a lot of dietary fiber, which lowers blood cholesterol, and iodine, which improves metabolism, vascular and cardiac action, body temperature, and perspiration regulation, and are effective in...
