Influence of Dietary Fiber on Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Colon Cancer: Importance of Fermentation Pattern

Abstract: The benefits of dietary fiber on inflammatory bowel disease may be related to the fermentative production of butyrate in the colon, which appears to decrease the inflammatory response. The benefits of dietary fiber against colon cancer may be related to both fermentative and non-fermentative processes, although poorly fermentable fibers appear more influential. Dietary fiber fermentation profiles are important in determining optimal fibers for colonic health, and may be a function of structure, processing cond… Show more

“…The nixtamalized corn pericarp is a good source of dietary fiber (DF). Although the benefits of DF were originally focused on increasing fecal volume, and laxative properties (Ramulu & Rao, 1997), today it is recognized that DF plays an important role in various physiological functions as well as in the prevention and treatment of different diseases (Dhingra, Michael, Rajput, & Patil, 2012;Rose, DeMeo, Keshavarzian, & Hamaker, 2007). There are several definitions for this DF (Englyst, Quigley, & Hudson, 1995).…”

“…Now that food labeling for DF is uniform around the world, we still have to arrive at a definition which will include those plant oligo-and polysaccharides which do not precipitate in 78% ethanol and which are not hydrolyzed by the enzymes of the small intestine (Dhingra et al, 2012;Prosky, 2008). Based on its solubility in water, DF is classified as soluble (SDF), including pectin and gums, and insoluble (IDF), including cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin (Dreher, 1987;Rose et al, 2007). Nowadays, it is considered that the daily consumption of an adult should be between 20 and 35 g of DF, of this at least 15 g/day being SDF.…”

“…The benefits of fiber against colon cancer were closely associated to both the fermentative and the non-fermentative processes, where the poorly fermentable fibers were regarded to be more influential [3]. Dietary fibers are viscous, indigestible polysaccharides derived from plant foods which are not degraded by enzymes of the alimentary tract; therefore, they reach the colon undegraded and serve as potential fermentation substrates for the colon microorganisms, particularly bacteria [3,4].…”

“…According to Rose et al 6 , fibers could work as anticarcinogenic components by several mechanisms. One of them includes the fermentation of soluble fibers in the colon by the intestinal microflora producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) 6 .…”
