Digestion rate of legume carbohydrates and glycemic index of legume-based meals

Abstract: A study was performed to examine the rate of digestion of available carbohydrate in legumes and its mixtures with cereals, prepared as commonly eaten. The legumes and cereals studied were lentil (Lens sculenta), pea (Pisum sativum), bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, var tortola), rice (Oryza sativa) and spaghetti. Foods were purchased at the city market. Total starch content and the carbohydrate digestion rates were determined using the enzymatic method proposed by Englyst et al. Total starch levels ranged from 7.78 g… Show more

“…The consumption of foods with high indigestible carbohydrate content is an alternative way to control weight and obesity problems because these foods have a low caloric content. Pasta is a very popular food, mainly because of its low lipid (no cholesterol) and sodium content, and slow digestion [2,3]. Pasta is traditionally put together with durum wheat flour (semolina) and water.…”

“…Resultados similares han sido reportado por otros autores (Aparicio et al, 2007;Aryee et al, 2006;Islas et al, 2006;Tovar, 2001), quienes indican que el AR tipo III se forma después de ciertos tratamientos hidrotérmicos. En términos generales, se considera que la determinación de la velocidad de amilólisis in vitro, tiende a ser un elemento útil para la predicción de la respuesta glucémica postprandial que inducen los alimentos (Osorio et al, 2004;Araya et al, 2004) por lo que su evaluación es importante dentro de la caracterización de las propiedades nutricionales de las formulaciones con materiales amiláceos.…”

“…El almidón resistente se encuentra en la mayoría de los materiales amiláceos de raíces y tubérculos en contenidos variables (2-7 %) (Hoover, 2001) y se define como la suma del almidón y productos de la degradación del almidón que no se absorben en el intestino delgado de individuos sanos y que se resiste la hidrólisis enzimática (Nieto et al, 2005, Araya et al, 2004, siendo esta establecida como una medida de la digestibilidad del almidón (Rodríguez y Silva, 2003, Tovar, 2001, Perales et al, 2005 la cual es afectada por el tamaño del gránulo de almidón, la relación amilosa/amilopectina y las posibles interacciones o complejos que puedan existir del almidón con lípidos, proteínas y taninos (Sajilata et al, 2006, Plata et al, 2004.…”
