1. Methods for Dietary Fiber, Neutral Detergent Fiber, and Nonstarch Polysaccharides in Relation to Animal NutritionJournal of Dairy Science · 1991 · 28,712 citations

   There is a need to standardize the NDF procedure. Procedures have varied because of the use of different amylases in attempts to remove starch interference. The original Bacillus subtilis enzyme Type IIIA (XIA) no longer is available and has been…

2. Use of Detergents in the Analysis of Fibrous Feeds. II. A Rapid Method for the Determination of Fiber and LigninJournal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL · 1963 · 2,569 citations

   Abstract The capacity of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide to dissolve proteins in acid solution has been utilized in development of a method, called acid-detergent fiber method (ADF), which is not only a fiber determination in itself but also the major preparatory…

3. Use of Detergents in the Analysis of Fibrous Feeds. IV. Determination of Plant Cell-Wall ConstituentsJournal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL · 1967 · 2,424 citations

   Abstract A rapid procedure for determining cellwall constituents of plants consists of the determination of the fiber insoluble in neutral detergent and is applicable to all feedstuffs. The standardization of the method is based on a nutritional concept which defines…
