  • Dietary fiber or roughage is the portion of plant-derived food that cannot be completely broken down by human digestive enzymes.
  • Dietary fibers are diverse in chemical composition, and can be grouped generally by their solubility, viscosity, and fermentability, which affect how fibers are processed in the body.
