Notes:
Ready-to-eat breakfast cereals were surveyed and their fiber contents were determined by the neutral-detergent fiber (NDF) method (AACC first approval method 32–20). The samples were bought in local markets except for 135 samples representing 15 brands that were obtained directly from the manufacturer. Eighty-one brands of cereal totaling 410 samples were tested. Average NDF values ranged from 0–31%. The distribution of average NDF values indicates that 75.3% of the brands contained less than 5% fiber. Nested analysis of variance of fiber values shows that more than 99% of the variance can be attributed to differences among brands.
