One variety boosts yields; another more efficiently metabolizes nitrogen; a third triples
levels of amylose, a starch that doesn't spike blood sugar levels.
The root also has relatively high
levels of amylose, which can also be difficult to digest.
Not exact matches
Because
of its higher
amylose content and higher gelatinization temperature relative to corn, tapioca and potato native starches, it shows excellent stability in high temperature cooking and under variances in pH
levels.
Although carbohydrate intake is the first determinant
of the postprandial glycemic response, a great variability has been reported in the individual answers related to carbohydrate and starch type (
amylose vs. amylopectin), food preparation methods (cooking procedures, heating), fasting time, pre-prandial glucose
level, macronutrients distribution, insulin doses and resistance
level [36].
Because
of the tightly packed starchstructure
of einkorn, the
amylose is more slowly digested than amylopectin, thus lowering glucose and insulin
levels in the blood after meals and maintaining satiety longer.J Sci Food Agric 2014; 94: 601 — 612In a 2003 study, researchers at the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, in Frederiksberg, Denmark, compared three different loaves: einkorn bread made with honey - salt leavening; naturally - leavened einkorn bread made with crushed whole grains; and commercial yeast bread made with modern wheat.
Another way to say a «C»
level claim is «Some evidence suggests that resistant starch from high
amylose corn may reduce the risk
of type 2 diabetes.»
«Consumption
of a meal high in
amylose starch (70 %) decreases peak insulin and glucose
levels and area under the curve (AUC).
