In this study, resistant starch (RS) with enhanced thermal stability and excellent short-chain fatty acid production was obtained using recrystallization at 50 °C of debranched waxy maize starch followed by an acetylation strategy. RS sample obtained by debranching with a 25% high concentration of native starch combined with recrystallization at 50 °C (25DBS-50 °CP) and acetylated RS (25DBS-50 °CPA) exhibited high relative crystallinity of 69.4% and 64.2%, respectively. And the peak gelatinization temperature values of them reached 116.8 °C and 111.4 °C, and the RS contents of them after cooking for 30 min remained at 35.1% and 40.0%, respectively. The acetic acid yield of 25DBS-50 °CPA was higher than that of the control group. These results indicated that recrystallization at 50 °C combined with acetylation for debranched starch could be used as a new method for regulating the digestibility and fermentation properties while developing food with a low glycemic response and specific nutritional benefits., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.

[Display omitted] • Structure of konjac glucomannan - recrystallized resistant starch (KRS3) was studied. • KRS3 samples kept peak temperature values above 110 °C. • KRS3 slowed gastric emptying and intestinal propulsion rate. • KRS3, with 0.5% konjac glucomannan, reduced food intaking and improved satiety. The effects of the structure and digestibility of konjac glucomannan (KGM)-recrystallized resistant starch complex (KRS3) on the glycemic response and short-term satiety in mice were investigated. KRS3 samples were prepared by recrystallized debranched starch (RS3) at 50 °C, and then combined with KGM. The RS3 and KRS3 samples displayed an A-type pattern and maintained peak temperature values above 110 °C. With an increase in KGM, the swelling power and apparent viscosity of KRS3 increased. The results of in vitro and in vivo digestion revealed that KRS3 with a resistant starch content ranging from 69.4 % to 78.8 % could effectively maintain postprandial blood glucose levels. KRS3, particularly with 0.5 % KGM, slowed gastric emptying of mice from 82.7 % to 36.6 % and intestinal propulsion rate from 60.9 % to 35.3 %, resulting in strong satiety. RS3 combined with KGM could serve as a new approach to develop RS3 based foods with low glycemic responses and high-satiety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The hypoglycemic effects of two recrystallized resistant starches, A-type (ARS) and B-type (BRS), were investigated in type 2 diabetic mice. Mice were treated with low-, medium-, or high-dose ARS, high-dose BRS, or high-dose ARS combined with BRS (ABRS). After 10 weeks of continuous intervention, the medium-dose ARS group showed a significant reduction in fasting blood glucose, area under the curve of glucose, triglyceride (P < 0.01), and low-density lipoprotein (P < 0.05) levels compared to the model group and an increase in high-density lipoprotein levels (P < 0.01). The peptide YY and glucagon-like peptide-1 levels in the high-dose ARS, BRS, and ABRS groups and the butyric acid yield in the medium-dose ARS and BRS groups were significantly increased (P < 0.01) compared to those in the model group. Medium- and high-dose ARS intervention efficiently increased the relative abundance of beneficial Bacteroidetes, Lactobacillus , Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group , and Faecalibaculum , and lowered the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes. Overall, ARS exhibited greater advantages than BRS in lowering blood sugar levels.
