What is apple fibre?

The Apple fibre A fibre-rich powder derived from the flesh, peel and core of apples. Its main benefit lies in the fact that it contains both water-soluble and water-insoluble fibres. These play different roles in supporting digestion and bowel function. During the fermentation of pectin, short-chain fatty acids such as butyric acid, acetic acid and propionic acid may be formed. These are metabolic products that are important for the gut flora, the intestinal mucosa and the functioning of the digestive system.

Apple fibre or bran - what's the difference?

An important difference between apple fibre and bran is not only the total fibre content, but also the type of fibre. Bran contains mainly water-insoluble fibres such as cellulose and hemicellulose, while litter fibre contains significant amounts of pectin, a water-soluble and highly fermentable fibre.

Dietary fibres: water-soluble and water-insoluble fibres

The biological effectiveness of dietary fibre is largely determined by whether it is water-soluble or water-insoluble.

• Water-soluble fibres: such as pectins, certain hemicelluloses and mucilages. These ferment well and can be used as nutrients for intestinal bacteria.
• Water insoluble fibres: such as cellulose, part of hemicellulose and lignin. These are more related to increasing the volume and consistency of the stool.
