Abstract
Vegetables and fruits are consumed by humans for nutritional value and good health effects.
Food fibers can be found in plant cell residues that are resistant to hydrolysis by human
digestive enzymes. The fibers found in foodstuffs have the ability to metabolize beneficial to
humans. The purpose of this practice is to understand the fiber content, principles and
processes of analysis of fiber content in foodstuffs. The method used is a basic acid method with
gravimetric principles. The results obtained in fiber analysis using the basic acid method are
avocado 10.92%, fresh bread 8.09%, milk powder 18.35%, soy beans 59.95% and biscuits
14.95%. The conclusion of this practice is that the fiber content in different foodstuffs is
avocado 10.92%, fresh bread 8.09%, powdered milk 18.35%, soy beans 59.95% and Biscuit
14.95%. The principle of fiber testing is use acid and base solvents a dilute force for hydrolysis
content other than the fibers in the sample. The mechanism of fiber analysis is initiated by
adding strong acids and bases to the sample and then being heated to be filtered and rinsed
with hot aquades and alcohol and then dried in an oven and then cooled and weighed.
