Fiber Analysis Service

Reliable Fiber Analysis Service at Creative Biolabs

Fiber is a polysaccharide composed of a variety of polymers, which is often applied in the food industry because of its unique functional properties, safety, and green features. Common dietary fiber polysaccharides include cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin, which are composed of different monosaccharide units. Specifically, cellulose is composed of glucose units, hemicellulose is composed of monosaccharide units such as glucose, xylose, and mannose, while pectin is composed of monosaccharide units such as galactose, galactomannose, and galacturonic acid. These fiber polysaccharides are the main components of most plant cell walls, and they play a vital role in food, especially in human digestion and health. Therefore, providing fiber analysis services can obtain the type, content, and structure information of fiber polysaccharides in samples, providing important data references for food quality assessment, nutritional value research, etc.

Creative Biolabs has a mature Carbohydrate Analysis Platform, and we provide a variety of Polysaccharide Analysis services, including Heparan Sulfate, 3-O-Sulfation Analysis, and fiber analysis services.

  • Sample preparation
    We perform appropriate sample preparation processes, such as grinding, extrusion or enzymatic hydrolysis, etc., to obtain analyzable fiber polysaccharides.
  • Extraction of fiber
    We place the above samples in appropriate solvents (such as methanol, ethanol, etc.) for extraction in order to separate the target fiber from the sample matrix.
  • Digestion of samples
    The dissociation of polysaccharides into measurable oligosaccharides is the prerequisite for polysaccharide analysis. Reliable digestion ways are the key to polysaccharide analysis. We digest the extracted fiber to digest non-fiber polysaccharide components and simultaneously degrade the fiber into monosaccharides or oligosaccharides.
  • Separation of fiber
    We perform centrifugation, filtration, and other steps on the sample to remove impurities and ensure that the sample to be tested is an extract of fiber.
  • Analysis of fiber
    We use chromatography (such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography(GC)), mass spectrometry (MS), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and other technologies to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the structure and content of fiber to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the analysis results.

Publication

Technology: Standard gravimetric method and spectroscopic methods

Journal: Food Chemistry

IF: 6.306

Published: 2003

Results: The authors isolated and prepared cell wall materials (CWM) from cocoa shells through multiple steps, and then compared two determination methods for the determination of dietary fiber in cocoa shells, one was a standard gravimetric method and the other was using chemical methods to acid hydrolyze the polysaccharides separated during the preparation of CWM, and then used spectroscopic methods to analyze the fiber content. The results showed that total fiber levels determined by acid hydrolysis were in good agreement with published standard values, while dietary fiber levels measured by the gravimetric analysis were higher than the standard values, possibly due to the inability of the gravimetric method to distinguish the complex from lignin, resulting in high dietary fiber values.
