“…Most of these organisms are saccharolytic that is they derive their energy primarily from carbohydrate and its derivatives [9]. The rate of degradation of cellulose/drug absorption in colon depends also upon particle size, the finer the particle the more readily digestible [10] and laxation rate (frequency of defecation), less cellulose being digested in subjects who had more frequent bowel actions [11].…”

“…The degree of lignification of plant cell material is also important, with highly lignified substances being degraded most slowly (Southgate et al 1976). Intestinal transit time also affects the digestibility of certain polymers including cellulose and hemicelluloses, with longer transits facilitating more extensive breakdown (Hummel et al 1943;Stephen et al 1987).…”

“…The difficulties in determining these components were comprehensively reviewed in a recent paper by Selvendran et al (1979b). Because of the partial and variable digestibility of polysaccharidic fractions of the insoluble residue (Southgate et al, 1976;Hummel et al, 1943), testing for the validity of the results produced by feces analysis by comparing the ingested and excreted quantities was not possible. However, the totals given in Table 2 provided sufficient proof of this validity.…”
