Corn fiber was provided by Samyang Genex Co. (Seoul, Korea). On a dry solid basis, the corn fiber used in this investigation had a starch content of 153.6 g/kg, a protein content of 105.2 g/kg, a fat content of 42.4 g/kg, and an ash content of 51.5 g/kg. In addition, the raw corn fiber had a soluble fiber content of 12.3 g/kg, an insoluble fiber content of 617.3 g/kg, and a total dietary fiber content of 629.4 g/kg. Cellulase was purchased from Novozymes Co. (Bagsvared, Denmark). Termamyl (i.e., thermostable α-amylase) and the xylose standard were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. (Steinheim, Germany).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
