Increasing stool weight, wheat bran increases stool weight by a ratio of 5 1. In contrast, many novel fibers that are easily incorporated into beverages and foods increase stool weight only on a ratio of 1 1. In vitro fermentation studies with whole grains have been published. Carbohydrates of oat bran (rich in beta-glucan) were consumed by bacteria faster than those of rye and wheat brans (rich in arabinoxylan). Grain fibers were fermented more slowly than inulin, causing less gas production.
