“…With respect to dietary fibre content, the co-products obtained from those tropical exotic fruits used in this study showed (p < 0.05) TDF contents ranging from 69.1 to 81.5 g/100 g on a dry matter basis. The TDF in all samples analysed was similar to those reported for other tropical fruits, such as pomegranate peel co-product (72.7%, dry sample) (Viuda-Martos et al, 2012), in fibre from Mexican lime peels (70.4 g/100 g dry sample) (Ubando, Navarro, & Valdivia, 2005) or açai pulp (71.2% dry sample) (Rufino et al, 2011), and higher than those reported for some other fruits; for example, a fibre-rich cocoa product (60.5 g/100 g) (Lecumberri et al, 2007) or coconut fibre (60.9 g/100 g dry sample) (Trinidad et al, 2006). In all cases, the IDF fraction was higher than the SDF fraction.…”
