Many experiments have shown the health care value of amylose.
High amylose foods are ideal for diabetics. Experiments have shown that feeding mice with amylopectin produces irreversible insulin resistance from 12-16 weeks, while amylose does not produce insulin resistance.
High amylose starch is also an ideal food for patients with gallstones and hypertension, and has the effect of preventing gallstone formation and lowering blood cholesterol.
The absorption of amylose and other nutrients in the human body also affects each other, especially some important trace elements such as Zn, Fe, Ca, P and so on. The results showed that the absorption rates of Fe and Ca in the intestines of the 7-10 day piglets fed with the amylose formula and the amylopectin formula were higher than those of the previous ones; the difference of Zn and P absorption rates was not statistically significant.
As a health food, especially low-fat, low-calorie foods, amylose has great potential.
