Aa. Parchure et Pr. Kulkarni, EFFECT OF FOOD-PROCESSING TREATMENTS ON GENERATION OF RESISTANT STARCH, International journal of food sciences and nutrition, 48(4), 1997, pp. 257-260
The resistant starch (RS) contents of rice and waxy amaranth starch su
bjected to processing treatments like cooking by boiling, pressure coo
king, roasting, extrusion cooking, frying and drum drying have been re
ported. Compared to the contents in the native starch, when expressed
on dry wt basis, in both cases, cooking by boiling and pressure cookin
g resulted in increase in RS content whereas all other processing trea
tments resulted in a decrease in RS contents.
