Abstract:
:The study herein reported presents information on the dietary fiber content of four food groups consumed in Central America. These are: cereals, grains and products; raw and processed beans; raw and processed vegetables, and starchy foods such as potatoes, cassava and plantain. Besides data on soluble and insoluble fiber, data on in vitro protein digestibility are included. The total dietary fiber content of the wheat flour products varied from 1.62 to 2.83% on a fresh basis, with the exception of whole-wheat bread, which showed a 7.57% content. The maize tortilla presented values ranging from 3.96 to 5.21% in respect to beans, and the values for cooked and raw beans fluctuated between 6.36 and 7.00%, independent of the color; however, fried beans reported values from 15.28 to 17.58%. Vegetables contained total dietary fiber values of 1.51 to 4.34, and the tubers, from 1.31 to 2.86%.
