Gut Health Function of Instant Dehydrated Rice Sticks Substituted with Resistant Starch Types 2 and 4.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of instant dehydrated rice sticks (IDRS) which were substituted with resistant starch (RS) types 2 and 4 whose gut health function targets gut microbiota. IDRS are a type of rice noodles that were developed by two formulations. The first formulation had substitution of rice flour with 20% RS type 2 and 0.

Properties and characteristics of dual-modified rice starch based biodegradable films.

In this study, the dual-modified rice starch was hydroxypropylated with 6-12% of propylene oxide followed by crosslinking with 2% sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) and a mixture of 2% STMP and 5% sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP). Increasing the propylene oxide concentrations in the DMRS yielded an increase in the molar substitution (MS) and degree of substitution (DS). However, the gelatinization parameters, paste properties, gel strength and paste clarity showed an inverse trend.
