Review reveals modified wet milling provides high-purity dietary fiber extraction with minimal chemical and water use, suggesting cost-effective approaches for human nutrition.

Key Points

To review existing extraction methods for dietary fiber from plant sources and evaluate their efficiency, purity, and cost-effectiveness for human nutrition.
Reviewed multiple dietary fiber extraction techniques, including dry, wet, chemical, gravimetric, enzymatic, physical, and microbial processing.
Compared extraction approaches based on chemical requirements, water volume, operational cost-effectiveness, and product purity.
Modified wet milling is the most cost-effective technique within wet milling due to lower water demand and reduced chemical usage.
Fibers isolated through modified wet milling achieve purity levels ranging between 49.7% and 89.6%.
