Study of the impact of thermo-active starch-modifying enzymes and surrounding wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cell wall and protein matrices on in vitro starch digestibility in model and bread systems KU Leuven
Starch is the main glycemic carbohydrate in human diet. High glycemic responses are an independent risk factor for developing diabetes. It is, therefore, vital to comprehend the factors that dictate starch digestion and to develop strategies to (re)formulate foods with enhanced nutritional functionality. In this context, the molecular structure of starch as well as the surrounding food matrix including the native plant cellular structure can ...
