New Developments in Dietary Fiber Physiological, Physicochemical, and Analytical Aspects / edited by Ivan Furda, Charles J. Brine.

It has been acknowledged that the physiological effects of dietary fiber are an exceedingly complex matter which requires a multidisciplinary research effort. The increased scientific involvement of the medical community, nutritionists, chemists and physicists is not only warranted but it has become...
