Scientists took a close look at five different methods to extract dietary fiber (DF) from Chinese chestnuts. These methods included using just enzymes (E-DF), a mix of enzymes and acid (EAc-DF), enzymes and alkaline (EAl-DF), ultrasonic waves with enzymes (EU-DF), and microwaves with enzymes (EM-DF)
