Digestion properties of starches.
| Tissues | Native Starch | Gelatinized Starch | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RDS (%) | SDS (%) | RS (%) | RDS (%) | SDS (%) | RS (%) | |
| Flesh | 1.7 ± 0.2 | 4.3 ± 0.3 | 94.1 ± 0.2 | 73.0 ± 1.1 | 5.1 ± 0.2 | 21.9 ± 1.2 |
| Peel | 1.4 ± 0.3 | 3.4 ± 0.2 * | 95.2 ± 0.3 * | 72.3 ± 0.7 | 4.5 ± 1.0 | 23.2 ± 0.5 |
RDS: rapidly digestible starch; SDS: slowly digestible starch; RS: resistant starch. Data are mean ± standard deviations for triplicate. * The data show significant difference between flesh and peel starches (* p < 0.05).
