Chromatographic Considerations and Maltitol Interference in Dietary Fiber Analysis

Key Points

• This research aims to explore how chromatographic selection affects dietary fiber analysis, particularly the impact of maltitol.
• Analysis of starch-containing materials using chromatography
• Examination of maltitol's effects on dietary fiber quantification
• Assessment of low-molecular-weight species generated during enzymatic processes
• Maltitol caused artifactual results in dietary fiber assessments
• Low-molecular-weight species were formed through enzymatic processing
• Guidance on column equivalency could enhance dietary fiber analysis methodology
