摘要：
A dietary fiber material obtained by using enzymes to digest cereal grains.The enzymes substantially hydrolyze any starch occurring in the cereal graininto small molecules but only partially hydrolyze .szlig.-glucan molecules.The dietary fiber material can have excellent physicochemical, physiological,and sensory properties such ass low molecular weight, a particular molecularweight distribution, and a particular polydispersity, in addition to havingexcellent food ingredient properties. As a food ingredient, the material canhave high .szlig.-glucan content which provides nutrient to the body. Becausethe dietary fiber material can have neutral mouthfeel, it can be used toenhance the nutritional content of ice cream, yogurt, baked goods, bars,beverages, or certain other foods-without affecting the taste or other sensoryattributes of the food. As a further benefit, the dietary fiber material canbe used to provide certain therapeutic benefits, such as anticholesterolactivity.
