Highly fermentable resistant starch

摘要

The present invention discloses that retrograded starch having more than 55% resistant starch with > 50% chains of DP 10 - 35 gives rise to a significantly higher amount of n-butyrate production under conditions simulating the human colon. It is expected that such an increased n-butyrate production will diminish the development of colon diseases notably of colon cancer.
