Micronization increases vitamin E-carrying and -releasing abilities of insoluble fiber

摘要

This study was to investigate the effects of micronization on vitamin-carrying capacity and slow-release ability of caram-bola (starfruit) insoluble fiber (IF) and cellulose using in vitro and in vivo models.Upon micronization,carambola IF (8.1 mu m) underwent structural changes to expose more functional groups in the fiber matrix and to exhibit higher oil-holding capacity (~20.4-fold).
