The present work shows the results of total fiber (T.F.) analyses carr
ied out on oat cultivars and new commercial products (pasta and extrud
ed-products) integrated with oat flour. oat addition determines good c
ontents of T.F. both in extruded and pasta products, suggesting that i
ts utilization, or of the similar products, could allow an easier incr
ease in total dietary fiber intake. Significant differences were found
between oat varieties in T.F. content.
