Dietary fibre (DF) was determined by the Uppsala method (Theander et al., 1995), which combines the amounts of sugars released by acid hydrolysis of cell wall polysaccharides, the arabinogalactan part of arabinogalactan peptide (AGP) and resistant starch, uronic acid derived from hydrolysis of glucuronoarabinoxylans (complex arabinoxylans present in the bran) and Klason lignin. Total dietary fibre (TDF) was the sum of DF from the Uppsala method and fructans.
