Abstract
A broad range of AOAC Official Methods of AnalysisSM (OMA) have been developed and approved for the measurement of dietary fiber (DF) and DF components since the adoption of the Prosky method (OMA 985.29). OMA 985.29 and other OMA were developed to support the Trowell definition of DF. However, these methods do not measure DF as defined by the "new," physiologically relevant, Codex Alimentarius definition. Methodology to support the Codex definition has been developed and updated in recent years. In this article, the relevance of each OMA in supporting the Codex definition of DF is described and suggestions are presented on the most appropriate method, together with proposals for changes in title and application statements for the "historic" OMA methods.
