“…21,22 Although most of the digestible starch will be digested in the small intestine, still many studies discussing the fermentability of RS do not report the digestible fraction or remove this fraction prior to in vitro fermentation. 12,[23][24][25][26][27][28] Additionally, media used for in vitro fermentation, such as simulated ileal efflux medium (SIEM), routinely contain digestible starch. 29 The presence of a large fraction of digestible starch in the colon of healthy adults is only likely when acarbose is used to block pancreatic digestion 30 or originating from RS-1, in which otherwise digestible granules, such as present in wheat, rice or maize kernels, are protected by a cell-wall matrix and therefore not digested in the small intestine.…”
