The dietary fiber content in the rhubarb juice and pomace was assessed gravimetrically after the enzymatic sequential hydrolysis of starch and non-starch compounds with α-amylase, protease and amyloglucosidase (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MI, USA) to mono-, di-, oligosaccharides and peptides and the appropriate precipitation of dietary fibers with ethanol. The fiber content was determined after drying the precipitate at 70 °C to a constant weight and was expressed in % per d.w. [45 ].
