Abstract
Cooked rice is being used commercially in some countries as an alternative cereal to wheat and (or) maize, particularly where dietary growth-promoting antibiotics are no longer permissible (Mateos et al., 2001; Vicente et al., 2004). Many varieties of rice are grown and, as expected, they differ in chemical characteristics such as the amylose: amylopectin ratio and resistant starch (RS) levels. The hypothesis tested in this study was that rice types having a lower amylose:amylopectin and (or) lower RS levels would have a higher apparent digestibility of starch when measured at the ileum but any differences would disappear when ascertained in the distal large intestine.
