  2. Cellulose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose

    Cellulose powder is, for example, used in processed cheese to prevent caking inside the package. Cellulose occurs naturally in some foods and is an additive in manufactured foods, contributing an indigestible component used for texture and bulk, potentially aiding in defecation. [71]

  3. Bezoar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bezoar

    Phytobezoars are composed of indigestible plant material (e.g., cellulose), and are frequently reported in patients with impaired digestion and decreased gastric motility. Diospyrobezoar is a type of phytobezoar formed from unripe persimmons. [7] Coca-Cola has been used to treat them. [8] [9] [10]

  4. Dietary fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary_fiber

    Dietary fiber is defined to be plant components that are not broken down by human digestive enzymes. [1] In the late 20th century, only lignin and some polysaccharides were known to satisfy this definition, but in the early 21st century, resistant starch and oligosaccharides were included as dietary fiber components.

  6. Assimilation (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assimilation_(biology)

    Most foods are composed of largely indigestible components depending on the enzymes and effectiveness of an animal's digestive tract. The most well-known of these indigestible compounds is cellulose; the basic chemical polymer in the makeup of plant cell walls. Most animals, however, do not produce cellulase; the

  7. Resistant starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistant_starch

    The concept of resistant starch arose from research in the 1970s [8] and is currently considered to be one of three starch types: rapidly digested starch, slowly digested starch and resistant starch, [9] [10] each of which may affect levels of blood glucose.

  8. Food energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_energy

    The typical human diet consists chiefly of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, water, ethanol, and indigestible components such as bones, seeds, and fibre (mostly cellulose). Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins typically comprise ninety percent of the dry weight of food. [10]

  9. Polysaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysaccharide

    Cellulose is a polymer made with repeated glucose units bonded together by beta-linkages. Humans and many animals lack an enzyme to break the beta-linkages, so they do not digest cellulose. Certain animals, such as termites can digest cellulose, because bacteria possessing the enzyme are present in their gut. Cellulose is insoluble in water.
