The positive effects of dietary fibre on health are now widely recognised; however, our
understanding of the mechanisms involved in producing such benefits remains unclear …

In this review, recent reports on in vitro starch hydrolysis kinetics are reviewed with regard to
the structural characteristics of starches. Factors such as starch granule morphology …

An in vitro procedure to measure the rate of starch digestion in starchy common foodstuffs
was developed. A first-order equation that rules the hydrolytic process was found: C …

The major carbohydrate of pulse seeds is starch, which accounts for 22–45% of the dry
matter. In recent years, substantial progress has been made on the molecular structure of …

The major carbohydrate of tuber and root crops is starch, which accounts for 16–24% of their
total weight. In recent years, substantial progress has been made in understanding the …

The in vitro digestibility and molecular and crystalline structures of rice starches (Long-grain,
Arborio, Calrose, and Glutinous) differing in amylose content were investigated and the …

Historically, nutrition principles and recommendations for diabetes and related
complications have been based on scientific evidence and diabetes knowledge when …

Background A chemically based classification of dietary carbohydrates that takes into
account the likely site, rate, and extent of digestion is presented. The classification divides …

The digestion and absorption of dietary starch and nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP) in the
small intestine of man from oats, cornflakes, and white bread has been determined by …
