Development of a database to estimate dietary intake of resistant starch in Koreans

Association of Dietary Resistant Starch Intake with Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome in Korean Adults

“…This study assessed the dietary RS intake of Korean adults using the newly developed RS database for common Korean foods and showed the mean intake of dietary RS to be 3.40 g in men and 2.87 g in women. Because Koreans consume cereal grains and their products, such as white rice, noodles, and bread, as staple foods in their daily diets, over half of the RS intake by the study participants came from these food sources [ 18 ]. The RS database used in this study was constructed using information collected on the RS contents of foods from analytical, reference, calculated, imputed, or recipe-based values.…”

“…A newly developed database of RS contents in common Korean foods was used to assess the dietary RS intake in this study population [ 18 ]. The RS database contains the RS content per 100 g of each food for 3885 food items.…”

“…The RS database was established based on analytical, reference, calculated, imputed, and food recipe values collected from the direct analyses of food samples, as well as from previous studies conducted in Korea and other countries. Detailed information on the RS database is described elsewhere [ 18 ]. Briefly, analytical values of the RS contents were obtained from a direct analysis of food samples and previous studies conducted in Korea through a literature review.…”

“…Most recently, a database of RS contents for common Korean foods has been developed [ 18 ]. Using the newly developed database of RS contents, the mean intake of dietary RS was estimated at approximately 3.1 g/day for Korean adults (3.3 g in men and 2.8 g in women), and the RS intake by Korean adults was shown to be lower compared to that in other countries [ 18 ].…”

Previous studies in Korean adults showed that a high-carbohydrate diet or a low intake of dietary fiber was positively associated with metabolic syndrome and its components [ 19 , 20 ].…”
