Abstract:

The in vitro assimilation of resistant starch (RS) and normal starch of wheat, corn and sweet potato was investigated using NMR and MRI. A more remarkable decreasing tendency of T22 and a more remarkable increasing tendency of T23 were observed in normal starch in comparison with RS. NMR presents obvious advantages in studying water mobility and distribution to account for the interactions among components in a food system. In addition, RS was more resistant to in vivo digestion than normal starch.

Key words: NMR, RS, starch, assimilation in vitro
