Abstract

The Dietary Fiber (fiber) Terminology Roundtable was organized to address crucial issues concerning current definitions of dietary fiber and the pressing need to resolve inconsistencies and ambiguities in fiber terminology. This publication captures valuable insights and diverse perspectives from a multidisciplinary group of experts who span research areas, including fiber and carbohydrate research in human health, fiber analysis and methodology, and food and nutrition ontology development and application, as well as food composition data and public health. Although health is a critical concern, the use of the word "health" here is directly tied to its intrinsic role in regulatory definitions of dietary fiber. The presentations supported the view of dietary fiber as an essential food component with significant potential to improve health, underscoring the need for clarity in language and communication. Additionally, the concept of a systematic ontological framework was introduced as a highly valuable and most suitable solution to facilitate clear communication about fiber in research, education, healthcare, and industry. As a result, a Dietary Fiber Ontology Working Group has been formed, and the collective expertise within the group will contribute to the creation of an open-access fiber ontology. This effort aims to not only address educational aspects but also support the identification of fiber-related health outcomes and the underlying mechanisms responsible for biological effects.

解决膳食纤维术语一致性:来自多学科圆桌会议的见解和膳食纤维本体工作组的建立。
膳食纤维(纤维)术语圆桌会议的组织是为了解决有关膳食纤维当前定义的关键问题,以及解决纤维术语不一致和歧义的迫切需要。本出版物收集了来自多学科专家小组的宝贵见解和不同观点,他们跨越研究领域,包括人体健康中的纤维和碳水化合物研究,纤维分析和方法,食品和营养本体发展和应用,以及食品成分数据和公共卫生。虽然健康是一个关键问题,但这里使用“健康”一词直接与膳食纤维在调节定义中的内在作用有关。这些发言支持膳食纤维是一种重要的食物成分,具有改善健康的巨大潜力的观点,强调语言和交流必须清晰。此外,系统本体论框架的概念作为一种非常有价值和最合适的解决方案被引入,以促进在研究、教育、医疗保健和工业中关于光纤的清晰沟通。因此,膳食纤维本体工作组已经成立,该工作组内的集体专业知识将有助于创建开放获取的纤维本体。这项工作的目的不仅是解决教育方面的问题,而且还支持确定与纤维有关的健康结果和造成生物效应的潜在机制。
