Depending upon the degree of modification, phosphated distarch phosphate starch can contain 70%-85% type RS4 resistant starch and can replace high glycemic flour in functional bread and other baked goods. [2] [3] Replacing flour with chemically modified resistant starch increases the dietary fiber and lowers the calorie content of foods.
