Abstract: In order to eliminate Chinese consumers,misunderstanding of vermicelli as a traditional food, a comparative analysis on resistant starch contents between vermicelli and daily foods was conducted. The results showed that the contents of resistant starch in hot rice, cool steamed bread, cookies, instant noodles, sweet potato vermicelli and mung bean vermicelli were 0.27%, 1.99%, 1.16%, 1.64%, 3.69% and 6.21%, respectively. The content of resistant starch in vermicelli was obviously higher than that in ordinary foods.

Key words: Chinese vermicelli, daily foods, resistant starch
