Modeling of in vitro digestogram by consecutive reaction kinetics model reveals the nature of starch digestive characteristics

Starch digestion involves enzymatic binding and consecutive catalysis steps, while their relative contribution to the overall digestion kinetics and relations to both starch chemical and physical structures are currently unknown. A consecutive reaction kinetics model (CRK) was developed in this study to modelling in vitro starch digestograms of 15 retrograded rice starches. Fine molecular structures, ordering of retrograded crystallites and...
