Abstract

Cinnamon spent bark waste (CBW) is the residue resulted after cinnamon oil extraction. It is accumulated in high quantities in cinnamon oil distillation plants and creates disposal problems. The aim of this study was to extract dietary fiber (DF) from CBW using aqueous, chemical and enzymatic methods and evaluate the functional properties of resulted fiber. CBW reported a very low content of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) but significantly higher (p
