Pectin digestion in humans
1983
Holloway, Warren D. | Tasman-Jones, Clifford | Maher, Kerry
Extract: The digestibility of pectin (a component of dietary fiber) was investigated in humans. The groups studied were comprised of healthy people with intact gastrointestinal tracts, and patients who had undergone total colectomy followed by ileostomy in the management of ulcerative colitis. The pectin content of individual plant foods in the diet and the pectin content of the excreta were determined. Some loss of pectin occurred in the small intestine but most of the pectin was degraded in the large intestine. (author)
