Resistant Starch Powder

Resistant Starch Powder

It is a type of starch that is not easily digested and absorbed by the human body and naturally exists in whole grains (oats, brown rice), legumes (lentils, chickpeas), and tubers (raw potatoes, green bananas). 

It can also be converted from common starch through physical and chemical modification techniques to produce special starch that can ferment in the large intestine. 

It combines the characteristics of dietary fiber with some of the functions of starch and has a wide range of applications.

Resistant Starch Powder Function:

1. Regulate blood sugar

It is not easily broken down by digestive enzymes, does not cause a rapid increase in blood sugar, and can stabilize post-meal blood sugar levels,

making it suitable for people who need to control their blood sugar.

2. Control weight

It has only about half the calories of ordinary starch and can increase a feeling of fullness, reducing the intake of other high-calorie foods.

3. Improve intestinal health

It ferments in the large intestine to produce short-chain fatty acids, providing nutrients for beneficial bacteria in the intestines, promoting their proliferation,

while increasing the volume of feces and promoting intestinal peristalsis.

4. Reduce the risk of chronic diseases

Long-term intake can lower the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases,

and also lower the probability of occurrence of diseases such as colon cancer by regulating the balance of intestinal flora.

Resistant Starch Powder Application:

1. Food industry

It is used to make low-GI foods (such as hypoglycemic cookies, meal replacement powder), baked goods (bread, cakes), and dairy products (yogurt, milk),

which can not only retain the taste of the food but also enhance its functionality.

2. Dietary supplements

As an important component of dietary fiber supplements, it helps the human body supplement dietary fiber and regulate intestinal health.

3. Special diets

It is used in special foods for diabetic patients, weight loss foods and complementary foods for infants and young children to meet the nutritional needs of specific groups.
