Abstract;The content, settling volume in water and absorption of mutagens in the insoluble dietary fiber from feijoa were investigated. The content of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin in insoluble dietary fiber was respectively 1.6 g, 2.9 g, and 1.9 g. The total content of insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) and lignin was high in comparison with that of other fruits already reported. The settling volume of IDF from feijoa in water was 10.6 ml/g of LOF and 394 ml/100 g of edible parts which is equivalent to that of burdock. IDF prepared from feijoa strongly absorbed IQ, Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2, and did not absorb N-dimethylnitrosamine. It is suggested that the absorption of mutagens was related to the composition of IDF.
