Ingredient Overview
Resistant starch is starch that resists digestion in the small intestine. High-amylose corn provides a source that can be incorporated into food formulations as a starch-based fibre ingredient.
The ingredient begins with a high-amylose starch source and contributes a starch-based fibre fraction. It can be explored in cereal and bakery formulations where a powder with relatively little sweetness is useful. Its behaviour in the finished food depends on both the selected material and the processing applied.
