The invention relates to the technical field of
dietary fiber detection, in particular to a method for detecting dietary fibers in food, which comprises the following steps: pretreating a sample, crushing a grain or vegetable and fruit sample, adding a
buffer solution, uniformly mixing, performing single composite
enzymatic hydrolysis, adding a composite
enzyme solution into the pretreated sample, performing synchronous
enzymatic hydrolysis at 35-55 DEG C for 30-90 minutes, the compound
enzyme comprises
amylase,
protease and amyloglucosidase, performing direct separation, performing
centrifugal filtration on enzymatic
hydrolysate, collecting filtrate, performing
precipitation-free quantification, directly analyzing the total amount of soluble dietary fibers in the filtrate by adopting a
high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) combined with a differential
refraction detector, and calculating the content by an external standard method. Time-consuming links such as
alcohol precipitation, ash
content determination and
protein determination are omitted, so that the whole-process reworking risk caused by single misoperation is avoided, and the overall time is shortened to be within eight hours; traditional step-by-step enzymolysis is changed into single composite enzymolysis reaction, so that the total quantity of types of
enzyme preparations is reduced, and the detection cost is reduced.
