“…It can be divided into water-insoluble (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignins) and water-soluble (pectins, gums and mucilages). It is often described as unavailable CHOs plus lignin (which is not a CHO), whereas Trowell et al (1976) advocated de®ning it as the polysaccharides that are not digested by the endogenous secretions of the gastrointestinal tract. 1987;Anderson et al, 1988, Mongeau & Brassard, 1989, Schweizer & Wuersch, 1979, Meuser et al, 1985 which give similar but not strictly identical results.…”

and Sweden. They were compared from the point view of availability, de®nition, analytical methods, and mode of expression of the nutrients of interest for EPIC, and it was seen that most of the nutrients in the tables are analysed and expressed in a compatible way. For some nutrients, however, common methods and de®nitions (folate, dietary ®bre), or modes of expression (energy, protein, carbohydrates, carotenes, vitamin A and E) have not yet been agreed upon, so values are not comparable. For vitamin C a wide range of values are found due to the high natural variation in foods. For compiled tables, an additional problem is the use of several sources which may mean that the nutritional values are not comparable within the same table; and these values cannot be converted if the source is not stated. In addition, some tables were compiled using food composition values produced over 20 years ago with outdated analytical methods. In view of the inconsistent values for some nutrients and due to the large amount of foods reported within EPIC, it was concluded that standardised food composition tables have to be developed for the nine European countries involved in EPIC in order to provide comparable nutrient intake data.

“…Many of these grains are rich in dietary fibre, which initially was defined as those components in a plant cell wall such as cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins and lignins, that are resistant to all digestive enzymes [6]. These components are classified as non-starch polysaccharides (NSP), and are the major substrates for microbial fermentation in the porcine large intestine [7].…”

Pigs experimentally infected withSerpulina hyodysenteriaecan be protected from developing swine dysentery by feeding them a highly digestible diet

SUMMARYWeaner pigs (n = 72) were fed 1 of 4 diets. These were based on either cooked rice and animal protein, cooked rice and lupin, wheat and lupin, or wheat and animal protein. Twenty-six of the pigs were slaughtered after 1 month. Those fed the highly digestible cooked rice and animal protein diet had drier colonic contents and faeces, lighter large intestines, and the contents of their large intestines had increased pH values and decreased total VFA concentrations. The other 46 pigs were orally challenged with broth cultures of Serpulina hyodysenteriae, and were monitored for faecal excretion of the spirochaetes, and for the development of swine dysentery (SD). None of 18 pigs fed the cooked rice and animal protein diet developed colonic changes or disease, whereas most pigs on the other diets developed mucohaemorrhagic colitis and dysentery. The reduced fermentation that occurred in the large intestines of pigs fed cooked rice and animal protein was associated with a subsequent failure of colonization by S. hyodysenteriae, and resultant protection against SD.

“…Most edible seaweeds contain large amounts of polysaccharides (30-75% on a dry weight basis) which differ from land plant polysaccharides by their chemical nature and physico-chemical properties [16]. Most of these polysaccharides cannot be hydrolysed by human endogenous digestive enzymes, and thus are considered as dietary fibres [30]. Their generally high contents in soluble dietary fibres (50-80% of total dietary fibre content, according to [16]) could be of nutritional interest.…”

-We have investigated the possible effects of algal polysaccharides on postprandial blood glucose and insulin responses in an animal model, the pig. Three seaweed fibres of different viscosities, extracted from Palmaria palmata (PP), Eucheuma cottonii (EC), or Laminaria digitata (LD), were compared to purified cellulose (CEL). Blood glucose and plasma insulin levels were monitored and intestinal absorption quantified for 8 h following a high carbohydrate test-meal supplemented with 5% fibre. Digestive contents were also sampled, 5 h postprandial. As compared to CEL, PP had no effect on glucose and insulin responses. The latter decreased with EC, but glucose absorption balance was not modified. LD addition resulted in a dramatically reduced glucose absorption balance, accompanied by a higher amount of starch left in the small intestine. Among polysaccharides tested, only the highly viscous alginates could affect intestinal absorption of glucose and insulin response. seaweed / non-starch polysaccharides / intestinal absorption / glucoseRésumé -Les fibres alimentaires extraites d'algues peuvent moduler l'absorption intestinale du glucose et la réponse insulinique chez le porc. L'effet des fibres algales sur la réponse glycémique et insulinique a été étudié chez un modèle animal, le porc. Des fibres de viscosité différente, extraites de Palmaria palmata (PP), Eucheuma cottonii (EC), ou Laminaria digitata (LD), ont été comparées à de la cellulose purifiée (CEL). La glycémie et l'insulinémie plasmatique, ainsi que l'absorption intestinale du glucose ont été suivies 8 h après un repas-test hyperglucidique additionné de 5 % de fibres. Des contenus digestifs ont aussi été prélevés 5 h après le repas. L'addition de PP n'a pas modifié les réponses glycémique et insulinique par rapport à CEL. Elles étaient diminuées par l'addition Reprod. Nutr. Dev. 40 (2000) 33-47 33
