Dietary fibre (DF) analysis is crucial for understanding its health benefits, yet traditional methods lack molecular detail. Here, the authors develop a 1H NMR spectroscopy method to directly analyze hydrolysed DF fractions with high recovery and fast preparation while revealing detailed structural information including monosaccharide composition, carbohydrate modifications and the degradation products.
