The monomer content of food decreases in the large intestine primarily due to the fermentation process carried out by gut microbiota. As undigested food material, particularly fibers, moves through the large intestine, bacteria break them down into simpler monomers and short-chain fatty acids. Additionally, water absorption occurs in the large intestine, which can further concentrate the remaining nutrients, leading to a decrease in available monomers. Overall, the microbial activity and absorption processes contribute to the reduction of monomer content as the material progresses through this part of the digestive system.

Why fibrous material has only one falling period in drying curve?

Fibrous material has only one falling period in its drying curve due to the nature of its structure. Fibers are composed of long slender elements that contain mostly air. As the material is heated this air is expelled from the fibers resulting in a decrease in the water content of the material. This is the first falling period in the drying curve. Once the air within the fibers has been expelled further drying is not possible resulting in a plateau in the drying curve. This plateau indicates that the material has reached its equilibrium moisture content. Since the equilibrium moisture content is independent of the drying temperature further drying will not result in any further decrease in the water content.

What heating methods will fail to heat a material that has no moisture content?

Heating methods that rely on the presence of moisture content in a material, such as microwave heating or steam heating, will be less effective on a material with no moisture content. In that case, methods like convection heating or radiation heating would be more suitable for heating the dry material.
