DIETARY FIBER MEASUREMENT HAS CHANGED. What does this mean for you?
International standardization bodies such as ICC (Standard No. 185) and AOAC (Method 2017.16), recently adopted a new method for the measurement of dietary fiber (DF) content.
The Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU) recommended adoption of this new dietary fiber method at their last meeting in November 2019. The next step will be acceptance by the Codex Committee on Methods of Analysis and Sampling (CCMAS).
