Abstract

ABSTRACTThe rate of wheat starch digestibility in the presence or absence of polyphenols (catechin or tannic acid) and/or phytic acid at concentrations found in legumes was determined in an in vitro dialysis system. Addition of tannic acid and phytic acid reduced the starch digestibility 13 and 60% respectively, at 5 hr. Combined tannic and phytic acid reduced the digestibility at a level (63%) which did not differ significantly from that with only phytic acid. Catechin had no significant effect on rate of starch digestibility.
