Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for modifying starch to slow down the digestion rate of modified starch. The present invention utilizes two-stage GBE treatment to convert the long straight-chain starch molecules into highly branched molecules with compact structures so as to decrease the digestion rate of the starch. During the two-stage treatment, granular starch was first treated with GBE, the treated starch was gelatinized in boiling water, and the gelatinized starch was treated with GBE for a second time, leading to an enhanced effect of GBE modification. Compared with the one-staged GBE modification, the two-stage GBE modification can further increase the content of slowly digestible starch in the modified starch and thus decrease the digestion rate of starch.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the starch slurry sample is heated at 50\u00b0 C. for 10 min in step a) and the gelatinized starch is heated at 50 to 60\u00b0 C. for 10 minutes in step d), wherein the starch slurry sample with the GBE is incubated at 50\u00b0 C. for 6-10 hr in step b) and the gelatinized starch with the GBE is incubated at 50\u00b0 C. for 6 to 10 hours in step e), and wherein the starch slurry sample is heated in boiling water for 30 min in step c) and the gelatinized starch is heated in boiling water for 30 min in step f).
