Palmyrah (Borassus flabellifer) is a common plant in Sri Lanka. Its fruit pulp (PFP) has active constituents, which are steroidal saponins called flabelliferins. Although these flabelliferins may play a minor role in the hypocholesterolaemic effect, it is clear that other important factors are also involved. This study investigates the content of the soluble and insoluble dietary fibre and some characteristics of the soluble dietary fibre from the pulp of four common types of palmyrah. Results showed that dietary fibre content was high (12.3% to 24.3% Dry weight) but type dependent. The pectin and soluble dietary fibre of the four types showed distinct elution patterns on sepharose (CL-2B-300) gel-chromatography indicating different molecular weight profiles.
