Abstract:The content of retrograded resistant starch of the RS 3 type was determined in six plant species and their accessions. Besides sorghum and foxtail millet, plant genotypes were cultivated in Piešťany locality in the year 2003. There were significant differences in RS 3 and total starch content in analysed crops and their accessions. Chickpea and buckwheat had the highest average content of RS 3 , 5.2% and 3.8%, respectively. Millet and foxtail millet contained less RS 3 , 2.9% and 2.8%, respectively. Millet was rich in total starch. The lowest amounts of RS 3 were detected in sorghum (1.6%) and amaranth (1.2%). The lowest variation in the RS 3 content was detected within the set of millet accessions and the highest within amaranths.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
