41. a) Best results are by adding 2% of Fibre equivivalent of Dry Flour weight. This
may change(Eg : For Curries Qty is 4% of Finish Good). Recommended Range
( Depending on Product) for addition of Fibre is between 1 – 5%.
b) Fibres 90 Microns absorbs water in ratio of 1:4 ( 1 gm fibre additionally
absorbs 4 gm of water). This may also differ depending on Raw Material. Add
water slowly as per dough elasticity after ratio of 1:2 is achived.
c) Ensure Resting Time of 5-10 Minutes after addition of fibre, so that Jelucel
Fibres capillaries are full of Water.
d) Do not increase/change the quantity of sugar/spices or any other ingridient
in receipe addition of Fibre and Water.
e) For Maida Based Products, Jelucel Performs Best with Gluten is in range of
13% - 15% ( Eg Nan, Bread, Cake) as gluten gets diluted with addition of
Fibre. May add additional Gluten for optimum results and dough binding
capability.
f) Shelf Life refers to freshness of product for the longer time frame.
43. Health Facts on Dietary Fibre
Dietary fibre is a vital food ingredient for humans
Insoluble Fibres
Soluble Fibres
• no fermentation in the colon / no gas
• increase the food volume already in the stomach
• reduce rot processes and related pH of the food pulp
• accelerate gastrointestinal passage
• reduce risk of Diabetes Mellitus type 2
• reduce blood cholesterol level
• reduce blood glucose level
• cause fermentation in the colon / cause gas
• probiotic effect
• fatty acids and gas caused by fermentation soften the
solid faeces

44. Health Facts on Dietary Fibre
Dietary fibre is a vital food ingredient for humans
Guidelines on fibre intake
•The American Dietetic Association (ADA) recommends a minimum of 20-35 g/day for a healthy adult .
•The ADA's recommendation for a child is 5 g/day (e.g., a 4-year old should consume 9 g/day).
•The British Nutrition Foundation recommends a minimum fibre intake of 12-24 g/day for healthy adults.
30 – 40 g dietary fiber / day = optimum intake

51. Food Safety
i) Wheat / Oat / Bamboo Fibres :
Considered as Food Stuff
ii) Plant Fibres (only):
Considered as Food Addictive published by the Codex E460(ii)
iii) All the different type of Fibres have similar funtions, application and
results. They Only Differ from the source they are extracted.
Eg : Wheat Fibre Extracted from Wheat Spears & hence consider as wheat
