We learned about fiber, yes fiber!!! the trending health product now days. Now I know that fiber is not about things in vegetable only but it has 3 category which is soluble fiber, insoluble fiber and gums. Insoluble fiber helps the movement of feces through our intestines and help control as well as balance the acidity in our intestines while soluble fiber binds with the fatty acids and they also prolong stomach emptying thus sugar was released and absorbed slowly.
Gums are also known as hydrocolloids. it can form viscous solutions and most of them do not gel. They have a variety of uses in food as they have many different functional roles. They can work as texture modifiers, thickeners, gelling agents and emulsifiers. That is so cool!!
