Abstract

Native starch extracted from Musaceae (bananas and plantains) has been widely reported as a contributor of resistant starch in human diet. This study characterized the digestibility of three octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) modified starches extracted from three Musaceae; namely, FHIA 21, Dominico Hartón (DH) and Gros Michel (GM). The starches were subjected to in vitro digestion. The FHIA and GM starch samples presented the highest (14.42%) and lowest (0.78%) contents of rapidly digestible starch, respectively. On the other hand, the DH and FHIA starch samples presented the highest (86.42%) and lowest (55.72%) contents of slowly digestible starch, respectively. It was found that the slowly digestible starch content is correlated (ρ = 0.92) with the degree of substitution (1.92 for DH and 1.01 for FHIA) of the OSA-modified starch samples. This shows that OSA modification is a reliable approach for obtaining starches with reduced digestibility and low glycemic index.
