dc.description.abstract | Ingestion of starch from corn (naturally enriched with (13)C) should produce (13)CO(2) after small intestinal digestion and (13)CO(2) and H(2) from colonic fermentation. This study used a combined (13)CO(2)/H(2) breath test to assess the digestion and fermentation of resistant starch and to show that the test could detect changes in digestibility due to cooking. Volunteers consumed 40 g digestible cornstarch with water (n = 8), or 40 g resistant cornstarch in liquid (n = 12) or cooked into a pancake (n = 4). Interval breath sampling was performed and analyzed for (13)CO(2) and H(2). Ingestion of resistant starch produced a double-peaked (13)CO(2) excretion curve. The first increase in (13)CO(2) occurred at the same time as excretion from digestible starch (55 +/- 9 and 68 +/- 9 min, respectively), which was due to small intestinal digestion. The second increase in (13)CO(2) was accompanied by an increase in H(2) excretion (432 +/- 15 and 428 +/- 48 min, respectively), which was indicative of colonic bacterial fermentation. Cooking resistant starch increased its degree of digestion from 36 to 72%. The (13)CO(2)/H(2) breath test can be used to estimate digestion and fermentation of starches in different physiologic and pathologic conditions. | - |
