promotion of the dietary fiber of foods can enhance human health by reducing the risk of many serious diseases. cakes are among the highly consumed foods but sadly of low fiber content. therefore, increasing the fiber content in them is of great importance, and this was the aim followed in this study. wheat flour was partially replaced at 0, 10, 20 and 30% (w/w) with corn resistant starch (rs),...

Resistant starch (RS) escapes digestion in the small intestine and may ferment in the large intestine. The purpose of this study was to determine the resistant starch content in typical starchy foods and to estimate the daily resistant starch intake and identify key sources of dietary resistant starch in the Chinese diets. The resistant starch contents of 121 foods were determined using a metho...

s b a t c t fi BSTRACT bjective Dietary fiber represents a broad class of undiested carbohydrate components. The components vary n chemical and physical nature and in their physiological utcomes. Resistant starch is starch that escapes digesion in the small intestine and that may be fermented in he large intestine. The purpose of this study was to stimate consumption of resistant starch by the ...

Intrinsic factors affecting the rate of starch digestion in foods are the physical form of food, shape and crystal structure of the starch granule, recrystallization and retrogradation, amylose-lipid complexes, native α-amylase inhibitors and non-starch polysaccharides [1]. For nutritional purposes, starch is classified into three types based on these intrinsic factors: rapidly digestible starc...

BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that resistant starch (effective in producing butyrate and lowering possibly toxic ammonia) is rapidly fermented in the proximal colon; the distal colon especially would, however, benefit from these properties of resistant starch. AIMS To determine whether wheat bran (a rich source of insoluble non-starch polysaccharides), known to hasten gastrointestinal tra...

The transgenic rice line (TRS) enriched with amylose and resistant starch (RS) was developed by antisense RNA inhibition of starch-branching enzymes. Cereal starch with high amylose has a great benefit on human health through its resistant starch. In order to evaluate the effect of transgenic rice on rats, the rats were fed diets containing 70% TRS rice flour, its near-isogenic rice flour or th...

Resistant starch is as common soluble fiber that escapes digestion in the small intestine and can regulate intestinal function, metabolism of blood glucose and lipids, and may prevent tumorigenesis of gastrointestinal cancer. Epidemiology and other evidence have suggested that resistant starch may prevent colon cancer development. The aim of the current study was to explore the ameliorative eff...
