Lipid complexation reduces rice starch digestibility and boosts short-chain fatty acid production via gut microbiota

ARTICLE OPEN Lipid complexation reduces rice starch digestibility and boosts short-chain fatty acid production via gut microbiota Yi Shen 1,2 , Zengxu An 1 , Zongyao Huyan 2 , Xiaoli Shu1,3 , Dianxing Wu1,3 , Ning Zhang 1 , Nicoletta Pellegrini 2,4 and Josep Rubert 2 ✉ In this study, two rice varieties (RS4 and GZ93) with different amylose and lipid contents were studied, and their starch was used to prepare starch-palmitic acid complexes. The RS4 samples showed a significantly higher lipid...
