ABSTRACT A rapid, integrated method (RINTDF) for measurement of total dietary fiber (DF) as defined by the Codex Alimentarius Commission was validated for foods. The method is applicable to plant materials, foods, and food ingredients consistent with the 2009 Codex definition (ALINORM 09/32/REP) and it measures higher molecular weight dietary fiber (HMWDF), comprising insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) and soluble dietary fiber that precipitates in the presence of 78% ethanol (SDFP) by gravimetry. Soluble dietary fiber that remains soluble in the presence of 78% ethanol (SDFS) is measured by HPLC. The method is an update of AOAC 2009.1, and addresses all of the issues identified by analysts in using that method over the past 8 years. Incubation time with AOAC Research Institute ERP Use Only
