Resistant Starch
Study Progress On Resistant Starch Definition Resistant starch dietary fiber is an important topic in the research on the relationship between carbohydrates and health in recent years. In 1982, research found that starch was encapsulated in insoluble dietary fiber, so this part of starch was defined as resistant starch, and further research on digestion in vivo and in vitro, physiological effects, manufacturing methods, and application in food gradually became Humans seek new points in healthy diet research. This type of starch is regarded as the physiological role of dietary fiber DF (Dietary Fiber) beneficial to metabolism. That is to say, starch and food products that are not absorbed in the small intestine of normal healthy people are also covered in the range of dietary fiber. However, it can be fermented by bacteria in the colon, and the short-chain fatty acids produced can provide a small amount of heat after being absorbed into the blood by the colon wall. Research has found that RS (Resistant starch) can slow down the heat generated by food. Undegraded RS can also increase the patency of feces, dilute the toxic substances in the intestine, shorten the time for food to pass through the intestine, and at the same time, it can effectively reduce the pH value of the intestine and play an acidifying and detoxifying effect.
