Thus, the results indicated that the fibers could
effectively bind to glucose even at low concentrations of
glucose thereby reducing the amount of accessible glucose
in small intestinal.It is observed that the glucose
adsorption capacity of fibers is directly related to available
glucose concentration. Similar observations were reported
by Chau et al [15] and Ou et al [11]for insoluble fiber-rich
fractions from Averrhoacarambola and wheat bran for
ability to bind glucose and further decrease available
glucose. Thus the vegetable insoluble fiber may be
beneficial with respect to reducing amount of accessible
glucose in the small intestine.
