[Dietary fiber content in the various groups of foods of plant origin]

Abstract

The article presents data on the content of soluble, insoluble and total dietary fiber in foods Russian and CIS countries of origin (528 samples (47 types) of food). Conducted a comparative analysis of these data with data on the content of dietary fiber in analogous products on the European market. Statistical analysis of the results was conducted on a PC program designed to package "Microsoft Excel office 2003", using the library of statistical functions. Comparative analysis revealed significant differences in content of various fractions of dietary fiber in plant food of domestic production compared to similar products of the production of the European Union, particularly Germany, more than 1/3 of the time. These differences can't be explained by analytical errors, because, for the purposes of these studies used the method recommended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission to conduct similar studies. Consequently, the results are directly related to differences in the chemical composition of domestic food products, compared with foreign counterparts, which determines the further development and refinement of existing tables of chemical composition. Thus, our data on the content of soluble, insoluble and total dietary fiber can enhance the chemical composition of Russian food. In addition, studies show once again the need for the Russian Federation of their own, national tables of chemical composition of foods, consistent with modern scientific and technological level of development.
