Comparative study of resistant starch from minor millets on intestinal responses, blood glucose, serum cholesterol and triglycerides in rats

Native starch (NS) extracted from rice and five different minor millets, when subjected to five autoclaving and cooling cycles, contained higher amounts of resistant starch (RS) than NS. Both NS and treated starch (TS) were fed to groups of rats for 2 weeks. In rice and all the minor millets, rats f...

Description
Summary:Native starch (NS) extracted from rice and five different minor millets, when subjected to five autoclaving and cooling cycles, contained higher amounts of resistant starch (RS) than NS. Both NS and treated starch (TS) were fed to groups of rats for 2 weeks. In rice and all the minor millets, rats fed with treated starch showed a six‐fold (TS alone) or nearly 18‐fold (TS with antibiotics) increase in faecal wet weight than rats fed with NS. Increase in faecal volumes paralleled increases in faecal weight. Rats fed with diet (both NS and TS) from Echinochloa frumentacea had the lowest blood glucose, serum cholesterol and triglycerides than the rice and other minor millets. ©1997 SCI
