Selected characteristics of dietary fiber and associated nondigestible polysaccharides are discussed. These properties, which could alter gastrointestinal function, include particle size, solubility and viscosity, and interactions with small organic compounds, cations, salts, and proteins. The relationship between structure and the physiochemical properties is indicated.
