Soluble fiber sources include barley, oatmeal, beans, nuts, and fruits like apples, berries, citrus, and pears
Dissolves in water to form a gel-like substance(brain://Q1WRENt3dkKtJYbf1Ez1_w/Fruit). It helps lower blood glucose and cholesterol levels
The composition and the physicochemical properties of the fibers (e.g., degree of polymerization for Inulin-type Fructans (ITF)) are factors that can modulate their fermentation kinetics and their biological effects on the host, including on the composition of the gut microbiota
