Abstract

Epidemiological studies have proven the connection between high consumption of dietary fiber and a reduction in the risk of many diseases. In clinical trials, the possibility of functional regulation of the intestine and intestinal microbiome by dietary fibers has been revealed, which may be significant in certain diseases of the digestive system. This review provides information on the relationship between the physico-chemical properties and functional characteristics of dietary fibers, discusses evidence of the effectiveness of their use in the treatment of diseases of the digestive system, discusses the need to enrich food with dietary fibers.
