NTR: soluble dietary fibre about cdno HOT 7 CLOSED

A definition from wikipedia:

Dietary fiber which dissolves in water – is generally fermented in the colon into gases and physiologically active by-products, such as short-chain fatty acids produced in the colon by gut bacteria.

from cdno.

According to Huhtanen, P., 2006.
Digestion of both soluble and insoluble fibre is solely dependent on microbial fermentation, no digestion will take
place in the small intestine; however fibre that escapes rumen digestion may be degraded in the hind-gut.

The description above suggests that the digestion of fibre is mainly in the rumen and only some other fibre is degraded in the hind-gut, which is different in monogastric animals.

from cdno.

I propose the following definition:

A dietary fibre which dissolves in water generally fermented in the colon, primarily by gut bacteria in monogastric animals.

Two references were used:
Negasu, G. 2017.
Richards et al., 2005.

from cdno.

It might be better to remove "A":

Dietary fibre which dissolves in water generally fermented in the colon, primarily by gut bacteria in monogastric animals.

from cdno.

Just adding "and is" words from @CropStoreDb.

Dietary fibre which dissolves in water and is generally fermented in the colon, primarily by gut bacteria in monogastric animals

from cdno.
