Abstract
A material for food of slow digestion and absorption, characterized by comprising a starchy material having an amylose content in the range of from about 25 to about 60% by weight and a modifier for modifying said starchy material and having the enzymatic reaction ratio with amylase decreased to not more than 95% of unmodified starchy material.
Claims20
A food additive material which is slowly adsorbed and digested which comprises:
- (1) a mixture of starches comprising (a) a cereal starch having an amylose content of less than 25% and (b) a starchy material having a high amylose content;
- and
- (2) a modifier which modifies the enzymatic reaction ratio with amylase such that it is not more than 95% as compared to an unmodified starch mixture;
- and
- wherein the ratio of the cereal starch and the high amylose content starch is selected such that the resultant starch mixture comprises an amylose content ranging from between 25% and 60% by weight.
