its bulking capacity
Explanation:
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:

  -> 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


Explanation:
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
