Viscosity of dietary ®bre preparation from defatted
rice bran and FIBREX at dierent concentrations can
be seen in Fig. 1. FIBREX imparted higher viscosity than
B®bre. However, both samples exhibited low viscosity
compared to gum solutions (Szczesniak & Farkas, 1962).
This is as expected since B®bre contains only 9% soluble ®bre and water-soluble ®bre was the main component to increase the viscosity of the solution.
