Although the benefits of fiber have been well-documented and accepted by regulatory bodies, there remains much to learn about this diverse carbohydrate category.

Among the array of research opportunities include understanding the interactions of various fiber types with various gut microbes, resulting metabolite production, and ultimate effects on health.

In this webinar, experts will present recent insights on prebiotic fiber specificity for predictable microbiota modulation, and how future standardization of fiber characteristics can facilitate targeted research to better inform consumer health.
