It is a complex carbohydrate, and is the parts of plants that cannot be digested. It also known as bulk or roughage. Fertility Capable of producing offspring (children)
Indigestible plant residues that are not broken down by the process of digestion. They add bulk and roughage to the food in the gut.
a substance found in foods that come from plants and helps in the digestive process.
Essential dietary component. Some fibre sources are more indigestible than others for horses – for example, straw is less digestible than grass. Hay, grasses and chaff are high in digestible fibre. Fibre sources are broken down by micro-organisms in the hindgut.
The cellulose fibre, typically from cotton or wood, that is the main ingredient of paper. Specialty papers may contain synthetic fibres such as rayon or nylon.
The indigestible part of plants. Insoluble fibre: Necessary for optimal bowel health and found in plant foods such as whole wheat, wheat bran, dried peas and beans as well as in fruits and vegetables. Soluble fibre: Has been shown to lower blood cholesterol levels as well as play a beneficial role in regulating blood sugar levels. It's found in grains such as psyllium, oats, barley and rye, in dried peas and beans as well as fruits and vegetables.
1. A slender, thread-like structure of organ tissue. 2. In the diet, strands of complex carbohydrates (cellulose) that aren't digestible.
Also known as roughage – it's something in your food that helps keep your bowels healthy
Found only in plant foods, fibre refers to the remnants of plant cell walls that are resistant to digestion by the human body. Dietary fibre, the fibre in our diets, can be either soluble or insoluble. Soluble fibre, such as that contained in oats, dissolves in water and is associated with blood cholesterol reduction. Insoluble fibre, such as bran, does not dissolve in water and produce bulk in the diet.
fibres for papermaking, can be animal (e.g. wool or hair), mineral (e.g. asbestos) or plant. Plant fibres are the most important group, the important constituent being cellulose which is extracted from a variety of plants. Suitable plant sources can be grouped into several types: Seed hairs, e.g. cotton Bast fibres from the inner bark or stems, e.g. linen, hemp, jute, ramie, mulberry Leaf fibres, e.g. esparto and manila Grasses, e.g. straw, bamboo Wood, usually softwoods such as spruce, fir or pine, but can be hardwoods. See chemical, mechanical and thermo-mechanical pulps. Plant fibres can be extracted from the plant itself or from secondary sources such as rags.
the indigestible part of plants (fruit and vegetables) in the food we eat, which forms a large part of the faeces. Fibre helps to hold water in the faeces, making them softer and easy to pass.
indigestible cellulose in our food (roughage)
The part of a plant which is not digested. It makes the stools soft.
is a type of material within foods mainly found in vegetables, fruits and cereals that adds bulk to the diet aiding digestion.
intercellular structure of seeds and plants, which dilute carcinogens in the colon and speeds them through the digestive system, discouraging growth of harmful bacteria, while bolstering healthy ones
Residues of vegetal foods not transformed by digestion and considered as exclusively cellulose. Although they do not have food properties, vegetal fibre s play an important role in the colon physiology, since they facilitate digestion. Back
Part of plants which the body cannot digest; helps your digestive system and bowels keep working well.
substance in foods that comes from plants, which helps with digestion by keeping stool soft so that it moves smoothly through the colon.
Found in the cell wall of plants. Helps to prevent constipation. Also known as NON STARCH POLYSACCHARIDE (NSP).
A component of food which isn't absorbed by the body and may help to lower blood cholesterol levels. You should aim for a fibre intake of 25 to 30 grams a day. To increase the fibre in your diet, choose more whole grain products, vegetables and fruit, beans, peas, and lentils. For heart healthy eating, try to increase your intake of soluble fibre as well.
food substances found in cereals, fruits and vegetables that are not digested but help the function of the intestines
Dietary fibre is the indigestible carbohydrate found in the cell walls in foods of plant origin. It plays a key role in a healthy diet, whether it comes from whole grains, wheat bran, beans, lentils, dried fruit, nuts, seeds or fresh fruits and vegetables. Whole grains and foods made with whole grains, all contain fibre in different amounts. Eating whole grains is a good way to benefit from the positive effects of fibre. The positive effects of fibre include health benefits such as reducing risk of chronic diseases, as well as the assistance in weight management.
The raw material for the manufacture of paper is cellulose fibre which can be obtained from trees, recovered paper and annual vegetable fibres such as cereal straw.
Eating plenty of fibre in your diet helps to keep your bowels working regularly and provides you with some nutrients too. After cancer treatment, some people have to cut down on fibre to help control diarrhoea. There is fibre in wholegrain cereals, rice and pasta; wholemeal bread and flour; fruit and vegetables; beans, pulses and lentils.
String of cellulose from which paper is made.
coarse, indigestible plant matter, consisting primarily of polysaccharides such as cellulose, that when eaten stimulates intestinal activity. In this sense, also called bulk; roughage
Dietary fibre is the part of the plant we canâ€(tm)t digest. Soluble fibre has been associated with improved blood glucose control. Insoluble fibre may reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease.
A cotton fibre is classified in four ways, by its length, micronaire, strength and uniformity. (See also length, micronaire, strength and uniformity). The fibre typically accounts for approximately 35 percent of the weight of a seed cotton, though this proportion varies.
Term used in the starch industry to denote the predominantly cellulosic material present in corn husks.
A form of carbohydrate which your body can't digest. Fibre helps your digestive tract work.
The two major fibre types are Egyptian cotton and Sea Island quality cotton.
non-digestible carbohydrates. Fibre is essential as a bulking agent to help food pass quickly and easily through the bowel. A lack of fibre in the diet can lead to constipation. Humans as organisms
