Plant Limitations to Fiber Digestion and Utilization [PDF]

The Journal of Nutrition, 1997
Energy availability from forages is limited by fiber concentration because fiber is slowly and incompletely digested, whereas cell solubles are almost completely digested. Thus, the proportion of fiber to cell solubles is a major determinant of energy availability in forages. Grasses normally have more fiber than legumes, especially in leaves.

Intrinsic dietary fibers and the gut microbiome: Rediscovering the benefits of the plant cell matrix for human health

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Dietary fibers contribute to structure and storage reserves of plant foods and fundamentally impact human health, partly by involving the intestinal microbiota, notably in the colon.

Effects on the compressive strength of cement-stabilized rammed earth blocks with varied content of buffelgrass-based fibers in wet-dry conditions

Frontiers in Built Environment
Stabilized rammed earth blocks have been an alternative building material around the world due to their cost efficiency, low embodied energy, and environmental footprints. However, the lower compressive strength and resistance to wearing limits their use

A study on some properties of thin biocomposites made from unbeaten wood and non-wood pulps

Science and Engineering of Composite Materials, 2012
A number of thin biomaterials were prepared via a wet formation method from seven different unbeaten plant fibers without using any chemical additives. It is noted that sheets made with short fibers (Flax-B: 0.32 mm and Straw-UB: 0.36 mm) and high fine ...

Plant foods, fiber, and rectal cancer [PDF]

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2004
Associations between colon and rectal cancer and intakes of vegetables, other plant foods, and fiber have stimulated much debate.We examined the association between rectal cancer and plant food and fiber intakes.Data from 952 incident cases of rectal cancer were compared with data from 1205 population-based controls living in Utah or enrolled in the ...

Crowding as an Agronomic Factor Determining the Development of Plants and the Productivity of Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2020
Nine sowing densities of linseed were compared in a two-year experiment. Self-regulation of the density of a linseed stand resulted in a differentiated branching of the plants.
