At the end of the webinar, attendees will know how to:
· Determine whether a specific “added” fiber meets the relatively new requirement that the ingredient not only analyze as such compositionally, but also have a human health effect (Health Canada) or benefit (US FDA).
· Determine whether a specific fiber has “prebiotic” effects.
· Use tools to evaluate digestive tolerance and select a fiber with demonstrated human health benefit for the general population.
· Use fiber mixtures to better support core bacterial groups of the gut microbiota for potential medical food applications.
