Abstract
Since the role of intestinal microbiota in metabolism was understood, the importance of dietary components such as fibres and prebiotics, which affect the modulation of microbiota, has been increasing day by day. While all prebiotic components are considered dietary fibre, not every dietary fibre is considered a prebiotic. While fructooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, inulin, and galactans are considered prebiotics, other fermentable carbohydrates are considered candidate prebiotic components based on in vitro and preclinical studies. Resistant starch, one of such carbohydrates, is considered a potential prebiotic component when it is made resistant to digestion naturally or chemically. In this review, both in vitro and in vivo studies in which the prebiotic capacity of type II, type III, and type IV resistant starch isolated from food and produced commercially was assessed were analyzed. According to the results of current studies, certain types of resistant starch are thought to have a high prebiotic capacity, and they may be candidate prebiotic components although positive results have not been achieved in all studies.
Key points
• Resistant starch is undigested in the small intestine and is fermented in the large intestine.
• Resistant starch fermentation positively affects the growth of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus.
• Resistant starch can be considered a prebiotic ingredient.
