Abstract
In vitro starch digestibility and glycemic indices of three rice varieties- ‘Njavara’, ‘Jyothi’ (pigmented rice verities) and ‘IR 64’ (non-pigmented rice) with similar amylose content were studied. Starch digestibility studies showed differences in glycemic response in three types of rice. The rate of starch hydrolysis was maximum (67.3%) in ‘Njavara’ rice compared to other two rice varieties. ‘Njavara’ exhibited the lowest kinetic constant (k) indicating inherent resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis. The glycemic load (GL) and glycemic index (GI) of ‘Njavara’ were similar to ‘Jyothi’ and ‘IR 64’. Resistant starch content was high in pigmented rice varieties compared to ‘IR 64’. The resistant starch content of dehusked and cooked rice increased with the storage time at refrigeration temperature (4°C). ‘Njavara’ is an easily digestible rice and can be used for baby and geriatric foods.Keywords
