Microbiome & Satiety
Fiber fractions: Soluble (pectins/beta-glucans): ~2.5g | Insoluble (cellulose): ~4.7g
Gastric transit time: 3.3 – 5.2 hrs
High prebiotic potential. Fiber fractions ferment in the large intestine into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), nourishing intestinal cells.
An index measuring a meal's ability to satisfy hunger for 120 minutes post-intake (white bread = 100). Scores above 150 indicate sustained satiety driven by protein, volume, and dietary fiber.
