Saccharification of Okara Fiber by Plant Dietary Fiber Hydrolases

Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology, 2004
In this paper, the saccharification process of okara fiber with pectinase, xylanase and cellulase was investigated as a preliminary attempt to effectively utilize okara fiber. The solubilization of okara fiber was raised in proportion to the number of enzymes used; that is, by a single enzyme, two enzymes and three enzymes, in that order.
