have examined the physiological effects and health benefits associated with consumption of DF in more detail.*" For instance, NSP are now known to reduce the rate and extent of digestion and absorption of macronutrients, such as starch and lipid," which leads to attenuation of postprandial glycaemia, lipaemia and also fasting blood cholesterol." Such metabolic effects are linked to a reduced risk of developing coronary heart disease, stroke, obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The mechanisms by which NSP are thought to alter the digestion kinetics and other gut functions are diverse, including formation of viscous solutions, encapsulation of nutrients, inhibition of digestive enzymes, and binding of bile salts. Furthermore, fermentation of NSP by microorganisms in the large intestine results in the production of short chain fatty acids (SCFA), which are now considered to have important positive effects on gut function and metabolism." This review will focus only on the mechanisms of NSP that are considered to alter the time course of digestion and postprandial metabolism.
