Abstract
ABSTRACTThe influence of processing on starch nutrition was evaluated. Cereal starches including wheat, normal corn and high amylose corn; legume starches including field pea, kidney bean and mung bean; and potato starch and glucose were evaluated as carbohydrate sources. Starches were fed raw, or cooked in a pressure kettle or autoclave, dried in a spray drier or freeze‐drier, or simultaneously cooked and dried on a drum drier or by extrusion cooking. Except for potato and high amylose corn, cooking the starches provided no nutritional advantage, as evaluated by weight gain, feed efficiency ratio, or apparent protein digestibility. Spray‐dried starches were less dense and appeared to influence growth by restricting food consumption.
