Key Points

This research investigates how starch-based complexes with lipids and proteins affect their digestibility and mechanisms of defense against digestion.
Examined multi-scale defense mechanisms of ternary starch–lipid–protein complexes
Analyzed the effects on enzymatic digestion at both macroscopic and molecular levels
Ternary complex shows significant suppression of starch digestion
Complex mechanisms vary from macroscopic structures to molecular interactions impacting digestibility

Implication

Demonstrates starch–lipid–protein complex effects on digestibility in low-glycemic foods, indicating potential health benefits.

Abstract

Multi-scale defense mechanisms of starch–lipid–protein complexes against enzymatic digestion. The ternary complex suppresses starch digestion via a series of multi-level defense mechanisms spanning from the macroscopic to the molecular level.
