amylose content of starch had a harder the starch gel. The starch gel structure has<br />

lower α- amylase susceptibility than a paste. Resistant starch is produced as the<br />

insoluble crystallite formed by the process of controlled retrogradation (Englist et al.<br />

1992). The crystalline structure of retrograded amylose is acid and heat- resistant. Its<br />

melting-point is above 120°C. In vitro, the retrograded starch and retrograded<br />

amylose fraction are highly resistant to α- amylase (Tetens et al. 1997).<br />
