Abstract
Resistant starch was determined in 70 grain-based foods by modification of the method commonly used to measure total dietary fiber in North America. T he modification involved solubilizing resistant starch in dimethyl sulfoxid e, Total dietary fiber in these products ranged from 0.9 to 18.6%, with res istant starch representing 0 to 88% of the total fiber values. Many bread p roducts and breakfast cereals contained over one-third of the total fiber a s resistant starch.
