Further investigations into the dietary fibre content of beers
It is well known that beer occupies an important place among foodstuffs, but its dietary fibre content has hitherto never been mentioned in tables listing food values (3, 9), or - for the sake of simplicity (?) - even a zero value was indicated (4).

To aid understanding, original gravity, alcohol and real extract contents of these beers are also listed. Merck, Darmstadt (1).
