Genotype specific starch characteristics in relation to resistant starch formation in table potatoes.

Abstract excerpt

Table potatoes are important staple foods with a higher satiety index than rice or pasta, but also reach a higher glycemic index (GI), leading to contradictory dietary recommendations. Previous studies identified resistant starch (RS) content as primary criterium for the GI. Hence, the relevance of starch molecular properties for genotype specific RS formation was investigated. Six common table potato varieties...
