Abstract
A collaborative study was conducted on an enzymatic-gravimetric method for determination of total dietary fiber in foods, in which soluble f iber and insoluble fiber are determined separately. Ten collaborators analyzed blind duplicate test samples from 5 food products: turnip, wh eat bran, beans canned with tomato sauce, rice, and whole wheat bread. Repeatability and reproducibility relative standard deviations ranged from 1.48 to 14.73% and from 4.13 to 17.94%, respectively. The method was adopted first action by AOAC International.
