Notes:
Published values on the water-holding capacities of various food sources of plant fiber were found to be incorrect. The proper calculation for estimating the water-holding capacity is shown. Corrected values for the water-holding capacity of these foods suggest that on a fresh weight basis, or as consumed, wheat bran is far superior to fruits and vegetables in holding water.
