DIETARY FIBRE – METHODS AND FOOD CHEMICAL COMPOSITION DATABASE
Journal Title: Българско списание за обществено здраве (Bulgarian Journal of Public Health) - Year 2010, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this study is to present up-to-date scientifi c information on the chemical properties of dietary fi bre and its importance in the case of creation of a food chemical composition database. FAO’s regulations concerning analytical methods for determination of dietary fi bre are presented, as well as energy conversion factors in process of calculating the food energy content. These two main tasks, besides the correct defi nition of dietary fi bre, are the three major components of the regular completion of the database for chemical composition of Bulgarian foods as well as in competency of the certain chemical laboratory using principles of the Good Laboratory Practice.
