1. What are fiber?

  • The term “ballastic substances” covers various food ingredients which cannot be degraded or not completely degraded in the human small intestine of body-specific enzymes and enter the colon without digestion or not completely digested. The term “food fibres” is also used for the fibre.
  • Ballast substances occur in natural form almost exclusively in plants. An exception is, for example, chitin, which, depending on the definition, is also counted as ballast substances. It is the main component of the body shell of insects, spiders, cancers etc. Most fiber is carbohydrates.
  • In addition, substances with other chemical structures are also counted to the fiber. This includes, for example, lignin, a highly complex phenolic compound which causes a wooding of plant cells. Through food-technological progress, fiber materials can also be extracted from natural sources or produced synthetically.

That’s coming out when you googelt.

Food ingredients belonging to the group of carbohydrates. They have little calorie and are mostly excreted. They are not essential, so they are vital. In the correct amount they have positive influence on intestinal bacteria or microbiom and support digestion. They help in the saturation of carbohydrates from natural sources.

However, too many ballasts can also cause the opposite and have a negative effect on digestion.

Ballasts, as the name suggests, are substances that have nothing but good digestion

without a good digestion, most people are inexorable

Ballasts are food ingredients that cannot be degraded or not completely in the human small intestine of body-specific enzymes. They are released into the colon without digestion or not completely digested.
