Values of F1 and F2 WHC were similar to those found by
Grigelmo-Miguel and Martin-Belloso (1999a) (7.3e10.32 g/g) for
dietary fiber from different orange varieties. According to
Grigelmo-Miguel and Martin-Belloso (1999b), fibers with high
WHC can be used as a functional food ingredient to reduce calories,
to avoid syneresis, and to modify the viscosity and texture of the
final product.
