[origin: WO9733688A1] The present invention relates to a process for preparing a vegetable fibre and to the vegetable fibre prepared. The fibre is prepared by a process which comprises the steps of (i) treating a vegetable fibre-containing fraction with a water-miscible organic solvent; (ii) separating off the fibre-containing fraction from the resulting mixture; and (iii) drying the fibre-containing fraction. The process enables the recovery of valuable vegetable fibres from waste streams of various processing industry. The vegetable fibre prepared by the process of the invention may be used in food and non-food applications.
