Megazyme has led the way in the development of methods for the measurement of dietary fiber and dietary fiber components. Over the past 20 years, Professor Barry McCleary has been placed at the forefront of new methodology in this area. This has resulted ultimately in AOAC 2009.01/2011.25 – the globally recognised reference method for the measurement of dietary fiber as it is defined by CODEX Alimentarius, which was developed exclusively by Megazyme.
For more information on the technical aspects of this method and how it compares to the previous ‘gold standard’ Prosky Method (AOAC 985.29), please see the section on Measurement of Dietary Fiber. For more information on the acceptance of AOAC 2009.01/2011.25 by national regulatory bodies, please see the section on Regulation.
In addition to this, it should be noted that CODEX has approved 14 methods for the measurement of dietary fiber and dietary fiber components. 5 of these methods were developed by Megazyme as are highlighted below.
