Soluble fiber and resistant starch components in some Indian and Canadian wheat varieties and in a wheat-soy product - Chapati
This study aimed to quantify resistant starch (RS) beta-glucans (BG) and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) in Indian and Canadian wheat varieties and in chapaties made from these; and to assess the effects of soy flour on the levels of these components and its effects on the sensory and functional …

Lactose Polymerization to Polylactose: Furthering Our Understanding for Commercialization
Polylactose, soluble fiber that has been manufactured from a blend of lactose, glucose and citric acid using reactive extrusion, has been developed in our lab. A benchtop method for polylactose production was developed that allowed for the evaluation of formulation impact on the polymerization …

Fermentable Carbohydrate Substrates Generated from Cereal and Pseudocereal Insoluble Dietary Fibers and Their In Vitro Fecal Fermentation
Dietary fiber has gained an increasing attention in recent years due to the myriad of health benefits attributed to it. The majority of these arise from their fermentative properties and their effects on gut microbiota. Cereals and pseudocereals are important sources of insoluble dietary fibers …

Effects of Soybean Pectin on Blood Glucose and Insulin Responses in Healthy Men
… in microbiota populations. Pectin is a soluble fiber with demonstrated health benefits such as the ability to lower blood glucose and cholesterol, increase satiety leading to lower caloric intake, improve insulin resistance and lower inflammation. These benefits suggest that pectin may …
