| Research Abstract |
Obesity is one of the biggest health problems in Japan. In this study, using non-starch polysaccharides, the effects of physical and morphological properties on starch digestibility were investigated. Guar gum inhibited starch components from leaching out of starch granules but this effect did not affect starch digestibility. Adding non-starch polysaccharides to Udon, the digestibility of starches decreased in half without spoiling their texture. Guar gum inhibited the formation of gluten networks and the break-down of starch granules.
