Abstract
A resistant granular starch with high dietary fiber content and the method of preparing this product wherein a high amylose starch having at least 40% by weight amylose content and a water content of 10 to 80% by weight is heated to a temperature of from about 60.degree. to 160.degree. C. to provide a granular starch which retains its granular structure and has a total dietary fiber content of at least 12%. Food products containing this resistant granular starch are also provided.
Claims27
A method for preparing a resistant granular starch with increased total dietary fiber content by heating a high amylose starch having at least 40% by weight amylose content under a combination of moisture and temperature conditions such that the starch remains in the granular state and is birefringent, the total moisture content of the starch being from about 10 to 80% by weight and the temperature being from about 60.degree. to 160.degree. C., with the resulting resistant granular starch having a total dietary fiber content of at least 12%.
A food product containing a food grade resistant granular starch having a total dietary fiber content of at least 12%.
