Resistant starches are type of dietary fibers. However, their physiological effects depend on the way they resist digestion in the gastrointestinal tract. The objective of this study was to examine the hypothesis that new type of RS4 preparations, of in vitro digestibility of about 50%, obtained by cross-linking and acetylation, acts as a prebiotic by increasing short chain fatty acids content in...
The aim of the study was to assess the effect of sex on the development of sensory specific satiety and energy intake in young people. It was found that ad libitum consumption of the tested products (milk chocolate, crackers, grapefruit and apple) caused sensory specific satiety with similar intensity, irrespective of the sex of individuals. Moreover, it was found that the sex had a significant effect...
The aim of this study was to determine the proximate composition, contents of individual fractions of dietary fiber and selected physicochemical properties of a fiber concentrate produced from corncobs. Dried and ground corncobs exhibited high total dietary fiber content (about 90 g/100 g d.m.), including a high share of hemicelluloses and cellulose. The analysed preparation exhibited also relatively...
Studies were conducted on a group of 125 girls aged 13-15 years. Food preferences were determined in relation to 77 products, along with habitual eating frequency and amounts of consumed products, with individual correlations analysed for all products separately and joint correlations for 6 assortment groups. A significant interdependence between food preferences and habitual frequency of consumption...
The employment of modified starch, as compared to unmodified starch caused a decrease of feeding efficiency and a limitation of weight gain. There was noticeable, but not statistically significant, a decrease of transit time by the intestinal tract observed. Groups of animals that were fed higher levels of dietary vitamins had significantly higher plasma levels of vitamin E and higher levels of both...
The aim of this study was to analyse fish preferences depending on their nutrients in the aspect of arteriosclerosis. The research was carried out on 1135 people (695 women and 440 men) aged 20-65. The preferences of 16 fish were evaluated according to a five-degree scale. Four subgroups were selected taking into consideration high and low content of: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and/or docosahexaenoic...
