A specially developed strain of barley, high in resistant starch. Resistant starch (RS) is starch, including its degradation products, that escapes from digestion in the small intestine of healthy individuals. [1] [2] Resistant starch occurs naturally in foods, but it can also be added as part of dried raw foods, or used as an additive in ...
A study review published in Frontiers in Nutrition showed that resistant starch types 1 and 2 (1 is found in whole foods, 2 in some supplements like corn-based resistant starch supplements) can ...
Isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) is a mixture of short-chain carbohydrates which has a digestion-resistant property. IMO is found naturally in some foods, as well as being manufactured commercially. The raw material used for manufacturing IMO is starch, which is enzymatically converted into a mixture of isomaltooligosaccharides.
Dietary fiber is defined to be plant components that are not broken down by human digestive enzymes. [1] In the late 20th century, only lignin and some polysaccharides were known to satisfy this definition, but in the early 21st century, resistant starch and oligosaccharides were included as dietary fiber components.
The resistant starch consumption from countries with high starch intakes has been estimated to be 30-40 grams/day. [31] In contrast, the average consumption of resistant starch in the United States was estimated to be 4.9 grams/day (range 2.8-7.9 grams of resistant starch/day). [32]

Digestion-resistant maltodextrins were developed in the 1990s from studies of starch nutrition, leading to the definition of resistant starch. [15] This was accompanied by the detection of digestion-resistant components in food products and manufacturing methods.
Polydextrose is commonly used as a replacement for sugar, starch, and fat in commercial beverages, cakes, candies, dessert mixes, breakfast cereals, gelatins, frozen desserts, puddings, and salad dressings.
