ABSTRACT

This chapter has been compiled with the intention of focusing on recent developments in food analysis with an emphasis on post2005 developments. The focus on recent developments is particularly appropriate in the case of dietary ber (Codex Alimentarius Commission, 2010), because there has been a concerted international effort in the last decade to arrive at a consensus denition of dietary ber, and to develop an analytical method that accounts for all the components embraced by the denition (McLeary, 2010).
