Abstract
The production of starch containing products such as rice for use in a low glycemic diet as a carbohydrate substitute in diet preparations is disclosed. The preparation may be readily adjusted in form and taste with respect to aroma, texture, consistency, and flavor for utilization in a number of food preparation techniques including baking and frying. The method provides digestible starches from native and commercial starches by controlled heating and/or enzymatic processing and filtration of carbohydrates.
Claims20
A method for making a food product for use in a low glycemic index diet consisting of:
- a) preparing a mixture of water with a starch containing product having a soluble starch content constituting 30% of its original weight;
- b) heating the mixture at a temperature of from about 50° to about 65° C. for from about 5 to about 10 minutes;
- c) separating said starch product remaining in the heated mixture from step b) by filtration;
- d) mixing said starch product, collected following the filtration of step c), with water and bringing the water starch mixture to a temperature of about 50° to 65° C., maintaining the mixture at this temperature for about 5-8 minutes, and separating the water from the starch product remaining by filtration;
- e) repeating step d) at least 3-4 times;
- f) collecting the starch product remaining after the final filtration of step e) from which the water soluble starch has been removed by about 5-10% at each repeating step e);
- and
- g) drying the collected starch product from step f), wherein the starch product retains its shape and appearance as well as its taste.
