Dietary fibers isolated from various
plants have diverse functional properties namely
solubility, viscosity, gel forming ability, water-binding
capacity, oil adsorption capacity, and mineral and organic
molecule binding capacity, which affect product quality
and characteristics (Tungland and Meyer, 2002).
Dehydrated fruit, vegetable and cereal fiber can be used
in the food industry as functional ingredient with excellent
results (Viuda-Martos et al., 2010).
