THE EFFECT OF DIETARY FIBRE ON HUMAN LIPID METABOLISM
Soluble fibre has been shown to lower serum cholesterol under experimental conditions. To date no survey has shown a relationship between soluble fibre and serum cholesterol. A survey was designed to establish if any relationship existed between the habitual intake of soluble fibre and serum …

Effect of dietary fibre on selected haemostatic variables and C-reactive protein
… have demonstrated an inverse association between dietary fibre (DF) consumption and risk factors for CVD and CVD prevalence. Some research indicates that this protection may be related to favourable changes in the haemostatic profile and inflammatory markers. This is applicable for the consumption …

Pineapple dietary fibre and the effects of processing on its functional properties
… valuable source of carbohydrates, in particular dietary fibre (DF) and neutral sugars. In addition, the waste is a suitable source of antioxidants, enzymes such as bromelin and flavours. Since this waste (core and peel) is currently sold at minimal cost to cattle farmers for use as cattle feed or …

Immunomodulatory effects of dietary fibre supplementation: effects on cytokine and antibody production and lymphocyte population profiles
… fermentable substrates for gut microflora. Dietary fibre supplementation may provide a strategy for manipulating the intestinal bacterial profile, changing the interaction with the mucosal immune system, thereby modulating the host immune system. We used a BBc rat animal model to evaluate …

The role of plant-based foods and dietary fibre in school-aged children (5-12y) in Ireland
… diet and are particularly promoted in food based dietary guidelines (FBDG) for their high dietary fibre (DF) content. The aim of this thesis was to examine the role of ‘cereals, grains & potatoes’ and ‘fruit & vegetables’, and DF in the diets of school-aged children (5-12y) in Ireland. A further …

INTERACTIVE EFFECT OF DIETARY FIBRE AND IMMUNE CHALLENGE ON THREONINE REQUIREMENT AND INTESTINAL BARRIER FUNCTION IN GROWING PIGS
High dietary fibre (DF) and immune system stimulation (ISS) are thought to limit amino acid availability for protein deposition (PD) and growth in pigs. Fibre and threonine (Thr) may also play an important role in intestinal barrier function. Therefore, this thesis evaluated the independent and …

Innovative food design to support a healthier diet – exploring the effects of dietary fibre enrichment on functional characteristics, physiological and microbiome effects, and consumer acceptance of staple foods
Introduction: Inadequate dietary fibre intake is a public health concern and has been linked to increased risk of noncommunicable chronic diseases. Food reformulation using isolated fibres offers a practical tool to develop palatable fibre-rich foods with a lower glycaemic index, energy density, …

Delivering β-glucan via selected bakery systems : cake
In the western world intake of dietary fibre is low and fat consumption is high. This leads to many diet related diseases, such as, type 2 diabetes, colorectal cancer and cardiovascular disease. Fibre enrichment and fat replacement are effective ways in developing a health-promoting diet. β-glucan, …

Antioxidants and natural anti-cancer agents in the large bowel and the influence of intestinal microbial fermentation.
… the focus of attention. One such component is dietary fibre but results of epidemiological and laboratory studies considering dietary fibre are rather contradictory, and the assumption that high consumption of vegetables and fruit is protective against colorectal cancer may be better supported …

Enhancing biomethane production from anaerobic digestion of Sargassum muticum
… contents of 24.2–28.1% dry weight, with total dietary fibre representing 49.8– 67.4% of the organic fraction. Water- or MeOH-extracted spring and summer biomass were higher in total dietary fibre content (75.3–82.8% of the organic fraction) and lower in soluble dietary fibre (SDF) and phenolic …

ASSESSMENT OF PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF FIBRE-RICH FRACTIONS OF YELLOW PEA AND RED LENTIL TO USE IN LOW-FAT PORK BOLOGNA
… physicochemical and functional properties of fibre fractions from yellow pea and red lentil, as well as their application in low-fat pork bologna. The effects of lab-scale hydrothermal treatment (HT) were also investigated. This project was divided into three studies. In study 1, chemical …

Nutrient intakes, compliance with recommendations and key sources in women of child-bearing age (18-50y) in Ireland
… the mean daily intake of energy, macronutrients, dietary fibre and salt, to determine compliance with dietary guidelines and to identify the key dietary sources of these nutrients in WCBA. A further aim was to estimate the mean daily intake of micronutrients, the prevalence of inadequate intakes …

Improving the safety and nutritional quality of pearl millet ogi-porridge
… that regular consumption of wholegrain or cereal dietary fibre can prevent and reduce risk of chronic diseases. Despite the extensive worldwide efforts to encourage wholegrain consumption, most cereals in Africa are still mainly consumed in their refined form. Ogi-porridge, which is a traditional …

Health impacts and dietary composition of Paleolithic and Australian Guide to Healthy Eating Diets in Australia
… Guide to Healthy Eating (AGHE). While total dietary fibre intake can be maintained from consumption of vegetables, fruit and nuts, it is not known if the elimination of grain-based foods results in changes to resistant starch (RS) intake. The Paleolithic diet can be classified as a low …

Novel insights into fibre and lipid substrates on the microbiome
… and function of these symbionts. Identifying dietary components, therefore, that impact this internal community can reveal novel insights into how these symbionts affect and promote human health and well-being. This thesis investigated the effects of dietary fibre and lipid components on the …

Nutritional composition of traditional mixed - dishes eaten by elderly women in Vhembe District
… preparation of most traditional foods. The total dietary fibre values ranged from 7.70% to 28.40% and a significantly higher total dietary fibre content was observed in tshidzimba/tihove B at p <0.05. The protein content of traditional mixed dishes varied from 11.70% to 31.50% and a relatively …
