the boiled legumes ranges from 2.09% to 6.40%. The canned
legumes showed a range of TDF values from 2.7% in canned green
beans to 7.4% for canned chickpeas, with a mean TDF of 5.2 g/100 g.
The CV for canned legumes ranges between 1.37% and 5.73%.
A collaborative study (Kanaya et al., 2007) showed a CV% range
between 0.89 and 6.26% for fibre rich food from different food
groups. This indicates that the repeatability of the TDF analysis in
this study was within the acceptable range. The TDF values for
boiled legumes were on average 31% higher than for the equivalent
