St. Paul, MN (August 31, 2009)—Dietary Fiber: An International Perspective for Harmonization of Health Benefits and Energy Values contains the proceedings of the Symposium on Dietary Fiber-With Emphasis on Energy Value. It focuses on four areas of emphasis: definitions of dietary fiber and current methods of analysis, reviews on the energy values of dietary fiber, physiological effects of dietary fiber, and dietary fiber as a food ingredient. Dietary Fiber: An International Perspective for Harmonization of Health Benefits and Energy Values will help bring clarity and resolution to the current international discussion of issues regarding the reconsideration and verification of the concept of “dietary fiber” and the establishment of its definition.
