The Introduction and Functions of Soy Dietary Fiber

What is soy dietary fiber?

Soy dietary fiber refers to the non-soluble carbohydrates in soybeans, mainly composed of non-starch polysaccharides, including cellulose, mixed-linked beta-glucan, hemicellulose, pectin, gum, xylan, and mannan, which are a general term for high molecular weight sugars that cannot be digested by human digestive enzymes.

Dietary fiber has a very wide range of pharmacological effects, such as preventing high fat and high glucose, promoting intestinal peristalsis, protecting the gastrointestinal tract, increasing fecal volume and frequency, treating infant diarrhea, and preventing postoperative infections.

With the increasing attention to diet and health, there are more and more research and development of dietary fiber health food products, and dietary fiber will have a very good development and application prospects.
