Randomized trial shows enzymatic resistance of ramon seed starch in comparison to maize starch, highlighting its nutritional potential.

This study investigates the enzymatic digestibility of ramon seed starch compared to maize starch, focusing on their structural characteristics.
Utilized INFOGEST static gastrointestinal digestion protocol for phase-resolved evaluation.
Conducted standardized enzymatic assays to quantify digestible and resistant starch fractions.
Compared native and gelatinized states of ramon seed starch and maize starch.
Native ramon seed starch showed higher resistant starch content (17.40%) compared to maize starch (7.87%).
Gelatinization reduced resistant starch significantly to 1.95% for ramon seed starch and 0.87% for maize starch.
The distinct digestion behavior of ramon seed starch suggests its potential in nutritional applications.

Montfort-Grajales et al. (2026) studied this question.
