its bulking capacity

I think we need to use an appropriate term for the English to replace the idea of both "potential" and "power", which would sound a bit out of context here to IMO.

This link should demonstrate my usage of "capacity" here:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/capacity?s=t
Example sentence:

"Sixty-eight percent of soluble polyphenols were absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, while almost all (99%) of the insoluble polyphenols were excreted undergraded in feces, improving the high BULKING CAPACITY of dietry fiber."

"A. History of dietary fibre as a functional ingredient: from bulking agent to ... . It has also been demonstrated that different kinds of dietary fibre have different BULKING CAPACITY."

Thank you. I wouldn't use "ability" here - it sounds odd using a term, usually associated with humans, on a component of food.

their potential for making you feel satiated/full up/bloated

volumizzante is used for giving volume as you feel really full-up after. I prefer really satiated

I think it also means that it adds bulk-probably that is the proper term. See reference: http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/dietary-fiber-the-n...
Sorry if I misled or misunderstood
