Digestion of raw banana starch in the small intestine of healthy humans: structural features of resistant starch

Abstract: The digestion of freeze-dried green banana flour in the upper gut was studied by an intubation technique in six healthy subjects over a 14 h period. Of or-glucans ingested, 837% reached the terminal ileum but were almost totally fermented in the colon. Structural study of the resistant fraction showed that a small part of the a-glucans which escaped digestion in the small intestine was composed of oligosaccharides from starch hydrolysis, whereas the rest was insoluble starch in granule form with physical chara… Show more

“…RS may also be represented by native uncooked granules of starch, such as raw potato or banana starches, whose crystallinity makes them less susceptibile to hydrolysis (Englyst & Cummings, 1990;Faisant et al, 1995). Continuous high-temperature shorttime extrusion cooking induces starch gelatinisation, in part explained by mechanistic pressure that destroys the barrier formed by ®bres and facilitates the accessibility to enzymatic activity (Mercier, 1993).…”

“…Total starch content was measured by an enzymatic hydrolysis method (Faisant et al, 1995). Resistant starch (RS) determination was done with the technique described by Englyst et al (1992).…”

“…Thus, RS has been estimated from analysis of starch output in ileostomy effluents (Englyst & Cummings, 1985Muir et al, 1995a;Silvester et al, 1995), and by ileal intubation of healthy subjects (Stephen et al, 1983;Faisant et al, 1995), or indirectly by measurement of breath H 2 (Wolever et al, 1986;Levitt et al, 1987) or blood acetate (Cummings & Englyst, 1989;Muir et al, 1995b). Newly developed in vitro methods which mimic the physiologic conditions in human have simplified the determination of RS in food (Englyst et al, 1992;Muir & O'Dea 1992;Å kerberg et al, 1998).…”

“…Raw B-type starches, such as raw potato and banana starch, are known to be very resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis when uncooked. Raw type II RSs are classified in three main types, for example: (1) most native cereal starches and cassava starch; (2) raw potato and banana starches (Englyst and Cummings, 1986;Faisant et al, 1995a); and (3) most raw legume starches. Most cooking procedures are able to gelatinize raw starches allowing the disappearance of RS 2 in the food.…”
